Tried that route, and while it is quite viable in 2024, I reverted to dual booting. I can turn on my computer to work or to play games, and those two environments are completely separate. Nvidia terrible corporation, but similar with Apple in the #justworks category. Getting much better on linux recently, but you lose stuff like the new hdr feature, and occasionally have to worry about anticheat

Yeah, I’m lucky in that I’m pretty stable now in which games I’m playing and they all run flawlessly via Proton or Lutris. It seems to mostly be the controversial kernel-level anticheats which don’t play ball or where devs don’t enable the Linux support flags for things like EAC which cause a problem. For those, I kinda just have to suck it up and play something else.
I did have a ton of issues with NVidia in the same environment, but after putting a Radeon card in it has been smooth sailing. That’s to be expected I guess.
I doubt I would have tolerated this even a few years ago though and would have ended up like yourself with a dual boot setup.
The one exception I made recently was to dump Windows and move to a Fedora immutable build after seeing how capable the Steam Deck (and Linux) was for all the games I play. I’ll get shot of that if it causes me grief though - or just stop playing games on my PC.
I just don’t have the energy to mess about with it all these days and Apple is the 2nd best option in lieu of that.
