Nobody should be forced to run Windows!!!
honestly windows 10 ltsc isn't that bad...
You can always dual-boot if you want to use Linux but need Windows sometimes.
you're not wrong, I just never liked dual-boot.
Double your RAM, and then spin up a VM for windows.
What are you needing windows for? If you don't mind me asking, I managed to get all of my windows softwares and games to work on Linux flawlessly (except for Ms office but I'll get by using Libre office and only office)
I mainly use Photoshop (it runs great on this old thing) and that doesn't run on Linux. I don't use gimp because it lacks features (mainly content aware fill) and it doesn't run as well.
Ive been using Photoshop CC6 on my Arch over wine for about 2 years nowand it runs mostly great. Some occasional jank, especially when resizing windows or undocking toolbars, but other than that it works! I think you can even get the later versions working, and its only the installer thats bricked.
If you ever wanna try again, I've found best performance running it in Bottles with Soda fork of wine, and the portable version of CC6 from rutracker, the Xpuct release I believe
What about Photopea? Have you tried it?
If anyone would find it helpful, you can do minimal rice for windows >:3
