I have installed Windows on my Framework 3 times, and Linux distros of varying types 5 times. The farthest I got was with Ubuntu 20.04 using Sway. It was near perfect. Then I needed to use some audio application that would just work and work flawlessly, and that was where I just was tired of tinkering with Linux (even though I love Linux in general).

I decided it is just more stable and easier to run Windows 10 and run Ubuntu or Fedora through a VM. I get all of the quality of life improvements found on Windows (trackpad driver being one of the chiefest), plus hardware driver stability (relative). When I run Linux through a VM it is rock solid as a result of the host. For me, right now, this is just what I need.

I lock Windows down using WPD.app and Tinywall and I believe this has been the best of both worlds.

The sweet spot I’m talking about as well.
