The only reason I have a windows box is for gaming, specifically sims (racing and flying)

Ever more reason to test and see if the wheel and flight stick work under Proton.

Bazzite my dude. Check it out, super easy and setup for easy dual boot so you can give it a shot without clearing windows (if shits partitioned right)

I want to use this last year of win 10 updates to slowly get onto Bazzite but I have heard horror stories of dualbooting Linux and Windows. Windows tends to overwrite the boot preferences and caps the system.i have only booted into Linux from an external drive in the past, so what is the tried and true dual boot method?

You're generally safe if you 1) install them on two different disks and 2) if you're installing windows later, unplug any drives you don't want to use with windows. Microsoft likes to poke all drives it can see during installation even if you don't touch them.

I'd be amazed if you were the first person testing if those things work. However, I would not be surprised if your specific peripherals do not work as they are supposed to.

If you know someone with a Linux pc it could be easy to test it out.
