Duel boot? Log into windows when you want to game, use Linux for everything else.
I don't really play games on PC, so maybe there's something I'm missing, but I used to duel boot between Linux and Windows all the time for different purposes and it was great.
You can set up your lan DNS/DHCP to use the same IP for both. And the virtualized instances are nice because they're scalable. If you're using virtual disks for storage, they only use up however much storage they are actually using on your drive and are hard limited by a software value. It also lets you upgrade the server later super easily by just changing values in the VM settings.
I do most of my stuff on HyperV or Virtual box. The VHD storage is also nice because it is agnostic and can be read by any system cabaple of running virtual box.
Do you track the games you play on protonDB? You might be surprised how many run perfectly fine on Linux these days, either natively or using the Proton compatibility.
The only game that I feel like I'm missing is Apex Legends, but that will probably work later this year once Easy Anticheat is ported over for it. All the other games I play (and like better) work perfectly fine.
We get a linux distro that plays games okay, like the one steam is working on. And windows will be lose it's only real consumer use case
This. If I could reliably play games on Linux I'd switch tomorrow. Fuck Gates.

Virtualize the Plex server and you can run it on both OSes

Autodesk is really the only thing that Windows is good for outside some AAA games
