I’ve been dual booting Linux and windows for about two years now, but in those two years, I have never booted into windows, except by mistake.

This made me think about removing windows and just saving that wasted space for Linux. I only ever dual booted for the off chance the peer pressure to play anti cheat games was too great, but so far it hasn’t.

For the off chance where I want to play a game that doesn’t run well on Linux, is it a good idea to do that via VM instead of dual boot, or is it too much hassle? Will there be performance hit or any issues with those games?

    Just use dual boot. There is WinBTRFS driver available for Windows, which means that if you have separate disk for games, you can format it as btrfs and share the same Steam library on both OS.

    VR on Linux sucks (almost in every possible way) and I have to use Windows for this. I share the same library between both OSes and I boot Windows only to play VR, while the rest of the games I play on Linux.
