That's better but assuming they have a system that can run windows in a VM at native resolution it's still a broken workflow that won't attract people to Linux.
Look Linux is my daily driver, my entire lab is Linux. We use a combination of Debian, fedora, and rhel. I'm not opposed to using other distros. It's okay for working with my peers who are on windows but not the best. Easy enough to work around.
However if an important part of your workflow requires Windows, Adobe, Autodesk, the murky shit of office products, etc., then arguing for dual booting, using a VM , or a different computer isn't going to win people to Linux. It makes proponents seem silly
Why does it have to be one tool though? More of a complaint to business in that they don't let you use other tools.
Sure and that sucks but that's reality
