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 am usually using either (mostly) Windows or (mostly) Linux on a machine. On new machines I buy or set up I usually try to install Linux first, but I will not switch from Windows to Linux on older machines I have already set up and I will also not remove Windows from machines I don't use that often.

At least for now, I don't plan on installing Windows 11, so if Windows 10 support runs out I might switch a few more machines to Linux.
