Now if only it kept me away from the Wikipedia rabbit hole haha

For me personally, having to reboot is part of why I like my dual boot. I have adhd, so it’s good to keep gaming entirely separate from anything productive.

Tbh my uni gave me a PC with no OS on it. I wasn’t going to pay for an OS for work so I installed Ubuntu. I liked it, so I also switched on my private laptop.

TLDR: it being free, then liking it

Even if you cant be bothered to figure out gaming on Linux, a dual boot works like a charm. I do all my gaming on the windows partition to keep it separate from work, to avoid distraction.

They can be helpful if you view them light heartedly as anonymous support groups where you can vent real quick. Not as actual qualified resources.
