Yeah it does, but occasionally when doing things like firmware updates
to peripherals it's just a shitload easier to run the native OS on the
bare metal rather than fart around with USB re-direction and hardware
passthrough. For those reasons, I keep a windows and OSX install on the
bare metal.

Sure, I *can* do it in Linux via a VM, but I'm old enough now to not
want to do time consuming shit like that just because I can. Time is
money. Suspend linux, boot windows, update device, resume Linux.. job done.

I've snipped the remainder of your reply because personally I could not
make head nor tail of what you were on about and it looked like a
steaming pile of misdirected political ....
