Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat)
On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)
This is the way. Win11 debloated in VirtualBox so far runs anything wine can't and Valve has really brought Linux gaming to a point where none of the games I want to play require me to boot Windows normally.
