Never understood the aversion to dual boot. Do your daily stuff on Linux and when you want to game, boot into Windows. Why hit yourself in the face with a hammer for no reason?

In Windows you just run WSL. Linux is an app.

I used to think like you. Then I realised that game developers who can't create a Linux version of their game simply don't deserve my attention.

if you need to boot different system for games or software then what's the point of using Linux? running browser?
