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 still dual boot. A lot of games in my steam library and other stores just don't work on Linux, especially some visual novels. CJK characters can cause some trouble and sometimes localized game version just needs to be activated through certain software but not working in wine(English version works but reading that could be painful due to lack of vocabulary). I hardly use Windows(since Windows 11 is so laggy on my laptop and it takes more than 20 percent of my limited storage and is still eating more of it) but when trying to play some visual novels... I just dual boot.
