Call me when I can play ALL the video games I want to play on Linux and I’ll happily ditch windows.
Hard mode: you aren’t allowed to mention Proton or tell me to abandon video games I like because “Well kernal anticheat is bad and was invented by satan” (it is, I know, I still want to play fortnite occasionally or whatever).
Thanks for making me realise why I never had the legendary “Windows broke dual boot” issues that everyone says are so common. I always used separate drives!
As a Linux-only person I can totally acknowledge the need for Windows if you want to be a regular player of specific popular games. And maybe VR. I haven’t tried it recently after playing a ton of VR a few years ago.
But I can also point out the fact that I probably already own more games than I will ever finish in my adult life, and just in case I do there are also more games released every year that work on Linux that I could ever play. So if a game will not work in Linux even with proton and whatnot, my life is not negatively affected by that game not existing in my world. (I’ll admit I probably didn’t always think this way, but for a long time I still ran Windows and didn’t think about it either way)

Dual boot would like to enter the chat
Dual boot is great until a random windows update borks it :/
It can only do so if both OS are on the same drive.
It is recommended to use two physical drives: one for Windows, one for Linux.
Never failed me in years.
