      I don’t have time to troubleshoot Linux all the time. So there’s one good reason.

      How do I play my VR games? How do I test the cross platform application I develop runs correctly on Windows? How do I update the firmware on a device for which the firmware updater only works on Windows?

      I use Linux. These are some of the reasons I keep a Windows VM around. So no, it’s not true there is “literally no good reason”.

        This, completely switching operating systems is not a reasonable solution to their minor problem.

          Wasn’t saying that they don’t work on Linux just that changing OS for a controller isn’t really feasible
