Honestly laziness. Setting up a Linux vm works fine for light Linux apps, and ssh/rdp does everything that needs more processing power.

Given the Google web-drm thing I probably need to start looking at wiping it and putting Linux or FreeBSD or SOMETHING else but just haven’t felt like wiping a working system yet and reinstalling everything.
