The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

I have a friend who won't leave windows because of League...in fact when we work on projects together I often have symlinks in my repo and he won't even turn on developer mode to deal with them because it means if he wants to play league he has to restart his computer since it breaks the anti-cheat...so I have to make sure to desymlinkify any repo I expect him to clone...it's cursed how much of a hold a stupid game can have.

Just tell him to make a Linux VM for it.
