You can always partition your system to use both operating systems, too.
I have Windows and Ubuntu on my laptop. I mostly use Ubuntu for day to day stuff, but Windows is better for some applications (gaming comes to mind).
And maybe excel?

Indeed. Can't live without it!

I don't have an readily available windows license to upgrade my system. An original Windows 8.1 desktop, this device may even require hardware upgrades for compatibility with Windows 11? I don't know. I don't want to keep using Windows, however.
What gaming can't you do on Linux?

I'm pretty sure you don't need a license to install and run newer versions of Windows these days (it's been a while since I last did it though). I guess some features might be restricted, but nothing too important if it's not your main OS. I sure as hell didn't pay for a license anyway. :P
Gaming kinda sucked on Linux in general when I last tried it. Lots of tinkering required to get things working. I've heard it's a lot better these days though.

I expect Steam to work without having to tinker ^_^
