If only one could have two OS on one machine and somehow boot into the one you want to play a game on.
Sure, but at the point you’re doing that the allure is lost on a lot of folks.
Why boot to two when they only want to play a game and one does it without needing the other.
This is an answer to a question that wasn’t posed.
All the inconvenience of Linux with all the inconvenience of Windows. You might as well throw MacOS on there, too.
It's so weird, usually it's Mac users saying that to me.
It's a hassle, most people are one size fits all
That’s great until you decide you want to play more than one game and have to restart your computer 5+ times per day. Then you’ve somehow made the experience exponentially worse than staying on either one
Do something more with one’s life than play that many games.
I do
It also requires windows only applications. So the problem still stands. Switching between the two OS’s is a terrible experience.
