    I set up Linux dual-boot as well, around half a year ago now. But I made (Mint) Linux the default boot option; so that when I turn on my computer, I get 3 seconds to interrupt it and choose Windows - otherwise it just starts Linux. And just like that, I’ve never used Windows again. There just hasn’t been any need or desire.

    If someone is setting up dual-boot with the hope of maybe switching to Linux, I’d say it’s import to make the Linux boot option the default. Otherwise they’ll still just be booting Windows most of the time out of habit, and never make the switch.

      If all I did was just office tasks and browsing the web, I’d completely switch to Linux as well. But as a gamer, things start to become complicated very soon. Some games run perfectly fine, some don’t run at all. It’s hit or miss. That’s why I keep Windows around and boot it almost daily. But the situation of gaming on linux is improving currently, so I’m hoping for a bright future…

        So then set up dual boot, with default going to Linux, and if you ever find that a game you want to play won’t work for whatever reason just boot into Windows to play it. No big deal.
