I've used Prism Launcher. But since I maintain a Modrinth modpack, I want to use the Modrinth Launcher.

And all of the other problems can surely be fixed, I know. But the easiest way to fix all of them are just to quickly boot into the other OS.

About the problem on Windows: first of all, there are way less. Hardware and software works out of the box most of the time. I don't use the Start thing at all so I'm not noticing the bloatware although I do know it's there. And account requirement is no problem, I created a dummy account with an email alias. The only issues I have with windows are autoupdates, and terrible control over the OS. Like not knowing where the Java binaries are and not having a common /etc/ where all your configs are. I also like packagemanagers on Linux. Other than that, Windows works just fine so far.
