This is how it is for me. I have Linux and Windows on their own drives.
I was triple booting a Hackintosh for a while and kept them on their own drives. You have to because Windows updates like to screw with the UEFI of the drive it’s install on at random time. Somehow, Window was less stable than OS X running on unapproved hardware.
Keep it contained in a VM, best hazardous containment.
How does it perform in gaming?
Decent enough, 10-15% overhead with VFIO, as long as games dont use batleye or eac
EAC sucks and can be bypassed with minimal effort. I’ve gotten Sea of Thieves running on a virtual machine despite EAC.
I’m actually happy to say this is me, I recently installed Mint on a separate m.2 drive from windows, I wanted to just test it. I now find myself almost permanently on Mint, only going back to windows once to play a multiplayer game that isn’t on Linux yet.
Same. There are one or two things that don’t work on Linux yet or are buggy so I have Windows on a separate drive. I hardly use it though.
Cries in VR games.
I play ally single player games in fedora and multiplayer in windows. Lol
I gave that up decades ago. If i can’t do it in Linux, i don’t need to do it.
Me booting into windows just to play some gta online
I still don’t understand gta online. For me the whole point of the GTA games was that you could do anything without a single thought because you were the only real person involved. That disappears when you add other people.
Well i have to admit i’ve actually been treating gta online as a single player grind game for the most part. On ps4/5 i did play together with a friend of mine though, but playing in a lobby with randoms can definitely be frustrating, especially if you are a grinder because lots of people like blowing your shit up. I’m honestly still shocked that rockstar allows you to pretty much do everything in invite only lobbies now, because i remember having to do all kinds of tricks with my internet connection to get into a public lobby by myself.
Or like so… (/home is on another disk, no windows)

Windows in VM with vitio drivers and guest tools
And looking glass for good games performance for those select few titles that otherwise refuse
Today I watched A Titus video about customizing his terminal to make it less ugly. And to install new fonts he had to type some weird commands to find where those files were stored and some other alien commands to get them installed.
Do you know what I don’t have to do in windows to get a font installed ? None of that. Open the file like normal people do and click install. No wizardry spells to learn
Then he did it because he wanted to, not because he had to. You can just double-click the fonts in your file manager and preview/install the font if you’re using a typical distro/desktop environment.
Edit: he likes to customise his environment to hell afaik, so he probably has a non-standard setup
Why would you customize your terminal on windows if you never use it though lol. Also for me it’s the other way around. Had to start dualbooting again recently and i started using winget, because it’s much more convenient than going through websites and downloading exe’s. Maybe not as good as on linux, but a nice improvement.
