I honestly don't know how people us it every day. If they're not trying to shove politics or celebrity gossip down your throat with Edge or that 'weather' thing in the taskbar then they're sending boat loads of data back to Microsoft on your every move. Why does anyone put up with it? And pay for the privilege?!
It comes on nearly every laptop and pre-built PC, also software support.
I need it for work and am too lazy to set up some sort of VM to limit data sending etc. I also used to game quite a bit and never got Wine working very well – but I don't really play these days so that's a moot point.
Plus I don't think you need Wine as much either because there are a lot more native games these days
Linux is no good for VR gaming.
