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'm dual booting, but sincerely only for the very rare occasions my friends want to play Call of Duty. Other than that, every other game I play works hunky dory on my Fedora Rawhide/KDE Plasma install.

I'm not sure how to help with Halo freezing up, but I use an 8bitdo Pro2 controller with Bluetooth and have no issues even playing for another room. What distro are you using? Perhaps you're missing Bluetooth device drivers or firmware that might make it work better.
