Dual boot linux.

Work usually forces you to use Windows.

Only do work stuff in Windows.

Everything else in Linux.

I wish Linux was an option for me. I use some high end CAD, CAM, FEA and CFD software that are only available on windows. It is starting already but eventually it will be all online in the cloud, and I could potentially use linux, but that adds the expense of endless subscriptions to the cloud.

My thought, exactly. I use a Win 10 on my recording studio rig but that machine's never connected to the internet. I use another machine to browse etc. I'd have no problem using Linux to do that. If this intrusive crap is implemented, I'm making the permanent switch.

I've test driven Linux several times and it's decent and reliable - and it comes in many flavors.
