I bought a cheap small form factor PC with Windows.
I figure I will install Visual Studio Pro on it, and stick it in a closet with Ethernet and UPS and leave it. Setup wake on LAN and whatnot.
That way whenever I need VS I can just spin that up and connect remotely to it. And if that works I can stop worrying about dual booting on my other machines.
Crossing fingers.

My SFFPC or as I'm gonna call it an MWM or "Minimal Windows Machine" is supposed to get delivered today. So that's the weekend plans sorted out, I guess. Also, I forgot to say that part of the reason to go this route is that Windows patches are getting specially odious if you are dual booting. Because for no good reason any Win11 patch from MicroSlop now requires MULTIPLE reboots. And unless you have setup GRUB to default to the Windows partition, and who fuckin does that(!?), then it's a PITA.
