Dual Boot? (self.linux_gaming)

I run to Ubuntu or Linux Mint on everything except my gaming PC. Every year or two I try out Linux for gaming and usually go back to windows. With steam deck out it seems like Linux gaming is the best it's ever been. With that said I'm still a bit frustrated with freezing (halo mcc) and Bluetooth being super flakey on my 8bitdo controller. I guess I'm rambling, but curious if dual booting is the way to go? Have most of you axed windows all together?

I have a relatively big SSD so I don't mind keeping my Windows partition around for the rare occasions I need it.

Whether one can live without a Windows partition really seems to depend on what games you play. In about four years, I've only needed to switch to Windows to play three games, but I don't play any competitive multiplayer games so I don't tend to encounter any Linux-incompatible anticheat software.
