    I’ve already switched to Linux partially. My PC now dual boots to Manjaro and Windows. I won’t switch completely, but it’s great to have such an awesome alternative right there one click of a button away. And the funny thing is that I’m not even the only one amongst my friends to do that. We are now three already and we even game on Linux too.

      I set up Linux dual-boot as well, around half a year ago now. But I made (Mint) Linux the default boot option; so that when I turn on my computer, I get 3 seconds to interrupt it and choose Windows - otherwise it just starts Linux. And just like that, I’ve never used Windows again. There just hasn’t been any need or desire.

      If someone is setting up dual-boot with the hope of maybe switching to Linux, I’d say it’s import to make the Linux boot option the default. Otherwise they’ll still just be booting Windows most of the time out of habit, and never make the switch.

      I have Linux dual booted on my gaming PC and it struggles with a lot of games on my 3080 TI with intel i10. Just doesn’t work reliably so I still have to use windows sometimes. It sucks.
