Hmm, I suppose maybe I could get GX Works to work on my main pc. It’s a pirated copy that our teacher handed out to us, but iirc the installation was fairly simple.
I haven’t ever used a VM though, will I have to set it up every time, or can I save the VM and start it up whenever I want to?

It’s just like a physical machine, except launched in a window from your desktop (or wherever you put the VM launcher). And yes, if you set it up correctly, it saves its state when it shuts down.
I use virt-manager, which is just a GUI on top of KVM/qcow. Works really well. It’s available for pretty much every Linux distro.
Every time I read about these “upgrades”, I’m glad I ditched Windows on my personal computers.
Yeah, I still need Windows on my laptop for some schoolwork(GX works 2 for PLCs), that I can’t get to work on linux.
Really happy with Fedora KDE though, some things require a bit of fiddling, but I do enjoy the troubleshooting process.
That’s why I specified personal devices. My work laptop runs Windows 11. But it belongs to the company, so I don’t really care.
For other shit of mine that requires Windows (like vehicle diagnostics software), I just run a VM.
