There are some issues with VMs and WINE that make the actual hardware & OS more appealing. I’ve heard of issues like the VM won’t start or there’s instabilities in the VM itself that makes things more difficult. Wine and compatibility layers like it can and do have issues with obscure software or it can’t run the software properly or at all.

Mostly companies who have platform specific software that would cost to much to replace or take to long to replace. There’s still companies that run ancient versions of OSs like Pre Mac OS X and Windows 95 because there’s simply no newer OS that can run a specific software besides that OS.

I currently have no VR headset of any kind but it sounds fun (from what I’ve heard).

There’s always a relevant xkcd, lol

I finished HL2 E2 a few weeks ago for the first time and I’m still waiting for the thrilling conclusion.
