Okay I kinda get the gist of things, thanks for all the answers! :)

I’ve looked at what games I have downloaded on my PC, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need Windows. I’ll be playing steam games and do some emulation.

Game compatibility

You need to have a use case for windows.

For me, I like having microsoft office there in case I need to do some work. One other reason was to play War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron. I could only find a version on the net many many years ago and it does not come with an installer. So to play it, I had to use windows. Absolutely love both games.

One thing that I appreciated: No need for internet connection to run the two games. I remembered I forgot to start up my downloaded games first in SteamOS and when I went to a place without internet, I could not use my SteamOS to play the games because they needed to run one time with internet first. It was a huge reminder that SteamOS is not a completely offline system. I was looking at being stuck without games for a few hours, but then I switched to Windows and played the Transformers games.

Yeah, you could have emulated games as a backup too. I am just listing out the scenarios I encountered.

I installed windows on my spouse’s deck because she wanted to use Wemod. It didn’t outweigh the few awesome benefits of using SteamOS in her opinion.

If all your games came from the high seas…

Games exclusive to windows… Gears 4 is the only reason I want to install windows

Any games with anti-cheat that won’t run on linux. But i have an SD card with windows 10 on it so i can play Modern Warfare 2.
