The biggest issue I ran into when migrating was because I created an NTFS partition that I intended to share with my dual boot. So many programs had issues setting correct privileges on the folders or the privileges would reset after a reboot. Trying to find help was very difficult because I was doing something stupid to begin with. When I changed the partition to exFat or something else all my problems were solved. A couple of years later I maybe have booted into Windows 2 times total, I just use my work laptop when I need to run something that has issues with wine like the tax software
If your work laptop is a pain for those last Wine resistant apps: I recently started using (and liking) WinBoat for running Fusion 360, the 1 piece of software I can't get running in Wine and can't manage to switch off of. It makes it really easy to maintain a windows VM and then use RemoteApp to launch individual pieces of software from it as if they were running natively.

I went to Linux at the beginning of the year and "had" to install windows onto a drive this past weekend, I've looked at myself this way in the mirror everyday since.
You know, I have used DOS and various un*x (hpux, aix, irix, sunos/solaris, sco, bsd, minix, sVr4, others) in the 80s/90s, before linux and windows existed, so I'm looking at you like this, peasants!
/s :)
To test a very stubborn program I had to install windows in a VM and use it for 20 minutes yesterday. It felt like I was swimming in a swamp located at the exit pipes of a factory that exclusively produce shit and deadly biohazard material.
Meanwhile, people who've been using linux for 10+ years...

I used zorin and pop OS but only use the browser as most of my work is browser based.
Also I installed Zorin on my Nana's PC. She keeps clicking on random shit. Her windows machine was infected with all kind of virus but her Linux machine is safe as none of the executable she dowbloads run on itΒ

To be fair took way to long to add Bluetooth to my Debian 13 laptop.
I'm super happy with Debian, but I still have to dual boot because of Solidworks π. Also Elegoo Satelite doesn't work too good with Wine.
I've gotten solidworks to work in a Windows 11 VM with decent performance. I use Virtual Machine Manager, which is a GUI that uses QEMU/KVM on the backend.
I used this guide for better performance, and it also resolved an issue where solidworks wouldn't install because it could tell it was in a VM.
25H2 is Microsoft's latest major release, featuring a refined interface, faster performance, enhanced security, and better hardware support. It's the most polished Windows 11 experience, making it ideal for virtual machines.
This is either the biggest load of horse manure ever vomited or a scathing indictment of the true quality of MS product. Either way, i am glad i don't need those instructions.
