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?

    Realistically, if you game a lot, you’ll probably end up using Windows most of the time if you dual boot.

    I have a dual boot setup and the reality is that time in a day is already quite limited, and rebooting every time you want to game is bothersome. It’s up to you. If you partition things right, there won’t be a single problem. I would still advise using a completely different drive than the one which has Windows to avoid problems.

      Using a completely separate disk for the Windows installation is good advice. Even if it’s shared with a data partition, as long as the boot partitions are on physicially different hardware, it does make things easier.

      I was just thinking that I wish there were ways of isolating hardware away from an OS using the UEFI system.
