  • If you dual boot on separate drives it should be fine to use grub or systemd boot (or sth else), most Linux bootloaders can detect Windows installations and boot them. On the same drive it is fine as well, but windows tends to overwrite the bootloader with updates (which would be the same even when not booting Windows from the “Linux” bootloader).

    As you said, just do it and try it out. In my experience basically any game runs on Linux these days, with some exceptions, most of them caused by anti cheat (like Fortnite, valorant and some others)




  • Imo any distro basically just works the same, I’ve never tried one of the “gaming” distros, but installing steam, proton and lutris is so straightforward that any distro will do imo. From there on it’s just a matter of going onto protondb and figuring out tweaks for your games.

    As for dual boot I highly recommend separate drives, windows likes to overwrite grub with every update if located on the same drive. From there on just do a basic Linux install and configure your bootloader to look for other bootable oses
