I’ve been using Linux on my desktop and laptops for 10+ years, but I still have to keep Windows around for just a few very specific things every once in a while. It’s usually for things like updating firmware to devices or programming a Logitech USB receiver or something.
For example, my Headrush Pedalboard for my guitar gets periodic updates and new features. To update it you have to use their updater software (which is just a small .exe utility) with the device connected via USB. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get this to work with Wine but with no luck. The exe runs, but won’t talk to the device. This is the same problem I have updating other random devices as well.
