Yeah, definitely switching to Linux if possible. I'm not sure how it will work with VR stuff tho.

Dualboot might be good since then you can tune windows to be a dedicated gaming OS which auto launches the needed things. I went from win10 to mint and haven't booted back into windows for months.

Cant speak to VR cos I switched to a Quest when I realised all I did was play BeatSaber, and the room with my computer is not very big.

Don't think I ever tried dual booting, only had each os on separate disk. How does it work launching specific things and booting into windows? I was thinking about using virtual Machine but heard that can be bad on performance.

I game in a VM with near baremetal performance.
I use PCI passtgrough do pass the whole GPU into the guest.
I don't use a Desktop Environment in the host though (proxmox)
