What I did for many games is just leave them on a shared NTFS partition so I can play them on either Windows or Linux.
Or you can literally just mount your windows partition.
I sympathize, I still mostly use stripped Windows 11 for gaming (and Linux for other stuff). But we’re going to have to switch sooner or later, and it increasingly seems to be “sooner”
I know exactly when to switch (November 2026), how to do it, and what to do. I'm not going to screw with dual booting for no reason for only a year, won't use win 10 after it stops getting security updates, and won't go to windows 11. In November I'll switch to a Linux distro and be done with the setup within the day. Whatever distro at the time seems best suited for having as a gaming PC.
Trying to use Linux for gaming teaches you a lot, though.
You might start at least a month early so you can make a more educated switch before you literally cannot fall back to Windows.
What part of I've already done this shit are you not getting? Lol
