The perfect setup for me has been to have my iMac for home work, browsing, design et al, and I have another two laptops, a dedicated Ubuntu for development but not work related stuff, personal that I also use for anything Linux, and a gaming laptop with Windows (latest) just for gaming. That way I don't mess up with anybody else's workloads and I don't crowd the systems with mixed concerns... but I do find that there are things I do super comfortably on each one of these OSs and I cannot just find a way to do them all on the same box

I made the jump a couple years ago, and only use GNU/Linux. I scud along the bottom of the game-time graph but I still do play, and only games that I can easily run thanks to Steam and Proton. Eventually I'll unplug completely and just play MeatspaceOS games like Cribbage and Nertz.

I'm migrating my desktop/gaming PC from Windows 10 to Linux this week. No dual booting.

I dual boot currently. If the windows experience degrades too much (I'm still on 10, so idk what I'll think of 11) I might just stop playing games at all. I have had bad experiences with proton, so I wouldn't go that route. Maybe I'd look into console gaming.
