I'm more convinced dropping dual boot and supporting virtualization is the right move. Only the host OS is going to have the right drivers for the trackpad, wi-fi, GPU, power management, etc. etc. Through virtualization, the guest OS doesn't have to worry about constantly evolving hardware models. Virtualized OS performance is already very good, and USB passthrough has existed for a while. Snapshots are a godsend. What won't work are things like CUDA for eGPUs over Thunderbolt 3, and you'll have to share disk and RAM with the host OS. But for most use cases it's probably the right choice. (This doesn't address the author's concern about moving away from x86.)
