Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

Bait post aside, I never really understood why people make a big deal of "switching" to Linux or back to Windows.

An OS install is like 60 GiB. If you're a pro hacker gamer you probably have over a TiB of fast storage. Just keep the Windows install around and dual boot into it when/if you need it.

Pains me to see people saying "I permanently switched to Linux and deleted my Windows install", when you can keep it around for emergencies or modding.

If i use both, that will give me less incentive to be on linux , because windows even though it is annoying with microsoft bloat, everything just works and i will stay there because life is easier.
