I'll look into barrier, thanks. I work in the gaming industry (from home, on my own pc) and so I am constantly running games and doing non-gaming tasks on and off so dual booting is not really an option for me. I often need to do normal tasks while games are running too. Which is why I wanted that 2 pc setup I mentioned above.
However I think I might dual boot just to try Linux out with gaming for now (I have a spare ssd I can use to keep it simple) since I see a lot of people saying it's pretty good now. Then if it works out I can just transition to only Linux.
If you have the money for a second PC then I see no reason not to do it. If you want to use the same PC, you can also very easily make a windows virtual machine to do windows specific work in if you have something that doesn't work with wine for whatever reason. A vm won't be able to play the kernal monitoring anticheat games as far as I know, but any miscellaneous programs that may not like or run well on wine can be run there if needed
