I used to dual boot, but I found that the less games I had installed to windows, the less often if want to switch to ti - the problem with dual booting is the time it takes to reboot.

Sure it gives you the best compatibility and such, but it takes just enough time to frustrate waiting, but not enough time for you to go make a coffee or cup of tea while waiting - it’s right in that annoying zone, which is not what you want when you just want to pick up a game and have it work, and if you miss the boot prompt, it will boot back into Linux, and you’ll have to do it all over again.

If I were to go back to dual booting (I won’t, Linux is just so much more satisfying to use) I’d have one side for gaming and the other for work stuff. I wouldn’t install games on one side, and I wouldnt install work apps on the other.

As a result, I found that I’d rather just play something else instead of waiting for the pc reboot. So i uninstalled windows and never looked back.

If I were you, I’d still try dual booting, especially if you need certain software that just doesn’t have a good Linux equivalent - But I’d try to use Linux for everything possible - sort of as a method to wean yourself of the windows side, make windows less and less necessary to boot into.

Also, just some advice: when setting it up make sure windows is installed first, then install Linux, windows hates bootloaders other than its own, and therefore tends to break the Linux bootloader - for the same reason, keep a Linux live image around so you can fix it if windows update decides to update the bootloader and in turn, nuke the Linux bootloader.
