    What is the use case for dual boot? Do you really want windows telemetry on your device?

      What about dual-booting a switch? Having to both Nintendo and Steam library on the same device.

      I don’t know about Consoles, but a neat thought would could be dual-booting a Playstation.

      I don’t use any of the above, just thinking out loud that there’s other stuff that could do with a dual-boot option than a Windows machine.

        Why should I do that when I can emulate it on steamOS?

        I think the hard part with using the os from a playstation or switch instead of an emulator would be getting the hardware running with drivers and whatnot. While it may be possible I can’t see it as very practical unless you are that kind of coding nerd and you want to do it as a challenge.
