    Personally, I recommend quitting Windows cold-turkey and not dual-booting at all. If a game genuinely doesn’t work without dual-booting, you don’t need it. No game is so important that it’s worth compromising your security, privacy, and property rights over.

      Yep, and the more people do this then the more likely it will be that games support Linux (or are at least tested to work with WINE/Proton.

      Unfortunately some of us need windows for more than games, and there aren’t Linux alternatives

        If you do then you already know that. The recommendation is still good, and I’m hoping you agree, but sometimes it doesn’t work. Cool. We don’t need to hear that every time. We know.
