You can always run windows on a VM within linux. You can passthrough any required hardware. And windows actually runs better in a VM than on baremetal.
Personally, I’ve not needed windows for anything in a while.
You can get them to work by enabling hyper-v inside the windows vm, but this kneecaps your cpu performance unfortunately. Might not always be an issue though depending on how powerful your cpu is and how demanding the actual game is.
When Linux can give me apps that I need and can use then I switch 100%. Until then will have to keep using 10 for now.
What apps do you still need?

Please elaborate how you arrived at this conclusion.

I tested it.
Ok. Case closed then.
And you’re saying all those kernel-level anti-cheat games will happily run in a vm?

Some of them will. It depends on which rootkit is used. There are some VM optimizations that applications can detect, but those can be disabled.
Most of them run in proton natively on Linux, but it does depend on the specific anticheat.
You can check protondb to verify how well a game might work on Linux
Personally, I boycott any game that comes with kernel level rootkits.
I’ve got a checklist of what needs to run well in order to switch, but Lutris just gave a big AI fuck you to users so I’m not hopping yet.
You don’t need lutris at all tho?
What’s the checklist?
I was hesistant switching at first until I did the full dive and realize most of the things on my checklist wasn’t really an absolute must.
