Based on how everyone talks about it all coming back all the time, apparently so. Now I used a debloated version of windows for the few things that I can't get to work on Bazzite, so it wasn't there in the first place. Something to consider if you need windows for whatever reason.

I don't think I'll actually need to have windows installed ever again. I'm on Garuda linux (Arch based btw,) and everything I actually want to run, that doesn't have a native package, runs in proton/bottles/wine as good or better than in Windows. No regerts, and I'm not going back.
The only program that I felt tied me to Windows is Fruityloops. Runs better in bottles than it ever did on win10 or 11. There's a few VSTs I like that either just straight up don't work, or are temperamental in bottles. That said, I'm not wedded to any one synth or effect, and I firmly believe that restrictions foster creativity.
