not necessarily, for example some laptop oems do not use the standard format and you cant just extract them from the exe so you have to use windows

dual boot, you never know when will you be forced to use windows again

• and for those who suggest VM, there are situations where its a hassle to make thing work or its impossible all together ( updating bios is one of those )

Hold on buddy, i would say that the first three are for veterans

so long friend you will be missed
