I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

        Never used wineboat but something to be aware of is VMs usually can interact with peripherals natively (as if they were the host computer) but this is almost always disabled by default as people usually use VMs to isolate stuff.

        So you may need to adjust options

        if that doesn’t work maybe try libvirt? it’s got usb passthrough so you should be able to mostly use peripherals any way you want. also it’s got a gui like virtualbox so the hardest part is turning on hardware-accelerated virtualization/hyper-v in your bios

            it’s just a virtual machine so it probably won’t be a problem. i’ve had issues with some of the more esoteric stuff but tbh it was probably user error
