Absolutely. Unfortunately a lot of software still only works on Windows. Particularly in industrial settings.

Yeah, but the more customers demand Linux versions, the more likely companies will be to produce them.

That's true, but getting a critical mass to do that with industrial software is like pulling teeth out your toenails. Most of the people writing it only know Windows.

Dual booting is always an option

Until Windows updates and overwrites the boot manager.

Or you install rEFInd and bypass this issue completely.
