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 built a PC for GPU passthrough. I can hand the whole GPU to windows in a virtual machine and it runs near flawlessly. I almost never do it because there are all of three games I can't run either natively or with a layer like proton or wine. But I almost exclusively play single-player games, so your mileage may vary.
