It always sucks dual booting in my experience. It’s an exercise in balancing maintenance and disk space management between two operating systems. You’re always likely patching if you actively switch between them.

I think it’s usually better to choose one and virtualize the other. I’d rather choose Linux + Windows VM than the other way around.

    Sadly VMs don't work with the Anti-Cheat rootkits, one of the only reasons I still have Windows

    Yea, I figured thats why most people end up dual booting. It’s not a judgment or anything.

    FWIW, I get around this by either using Geforce Now to stream the game that uses it or simply not playing the game lol. It’s not worth dealing with Windows for me.

    My friends and I don’t usually play the kind of games that use Anti-Cheat so its not an issue.

    I haven't had dual boot problems since the early 2010s. I don't even know what I'm doing right.
