Probably just the recent converts that are still 1 foot in and 1 foot out. I don’t keep a Windows VM. If something ever came up over the years, I have to decide if it’s worth setting up a VM. I think even 3 years back, I was able to update my PS5 controller loading up the update tool in WINE (Bottles). Didn’t even need a Windows VM then.
There are a lot of cases where windows is preferable or easier to deal with, I think just nuking it is more common with recent converts (I lolled a bit at this turn of phrase). You probably can do everything with wine + vm, bit I just can’t be bothered with passtrough and shit for the latter and update problems and requirement for 32-bit libraries of the former.
Is there a good word editor on Linux? Because libre office qt lags crazy on plasma wayland, doesn’t have auto lists, or horizontal line, requires an extra package for spell check, and OnlyOffice is missing basic formatting, like horizontal lines, has memory leak issues too, and doesn’t even allow selecting multiple words at a time. Srsly double clicking selects a word, but dragging unselects it.
There’s literally open issues about the lag, im talking about. And even if that didn’t exist. It’s just bad. It’s not intuitive, it doesn’t have any of the convenience features that MS word has.
Is dual booting really that common? Whenever I need to test something on windows I just use a vm
Every VM I’ve tried are horrendously laggy.

Something is broken on your system. Libre office works fine on all other machines.

Ok, you’ve got something going on with your system. If LibreOffice and VMs are lagging on your system then something isn’t right.
You probably want to ask a Pro Office user. I’ve just used Libre Office. Worked fine for my papers in school and edits my resume just fine.
I just use Typst for everything these days, but if you really want a gui thing there’s always the web version of google docs and ms office
