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?

However, yesterday I learned a bit about Proton that may help you commit to finally getting rid of Windows entirely. You can try it out on your Linux boot and see if your game work well on there before committing to it.
Here’s some info on how to use Proton to play Windows games on Linux: https://www.makeuseof.com/install-proton-ge-on-steamos-linux/
