Yeah good luck explaining how to install, use and maintain Linux to people who can barely do email.

Or just don't connect the PC to the internet during the installation.

I wish there was an easy way to run Linux and Windows side by side. Only thing I need windows is for gaming, but I would gladly use Linux for everything else. 

I've tried dual booting, but after some time it becomes a pain in the ass with my gaming and free time schedule being so hectic.

I've tried running it as a VM on Windows Hyper-V and VirtualBox, but it also proved to be a hassle with multiple monitors and different file systems.

I admit it's been a long while since I've checked up on Linux gaming. My main games are PoE + all the 3rd party tools that you can't play without, BattleBit Remastered, Assetto Corsa + Competizione, F1 23, FH5, and W40k Darktide.

I also have Moza DD simracing setup, and AFAIK there are no drivers for Linux.

My thoughts exactly
