Dual Boot? (lemmy.world)

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?

As long as anti cheat keeps only supporting windows you will need it to experience all games. You can go through the labor filled process of trying to VM windows with GPU passthru, but at that point are you really much better off? I swear one day we will get to a market-share that is worth supporting, but it just isn't there yet. Even fresh titles like Battlebit support anticheat that is incompatible with linux.
