I’ve been dual booting Linux and windows for about two years now, but in those two years, I have never booted into windows, except by mistake.

This made me think about removing windows and just saving that wasted space for Linux. I only ever dual booted for the off chance the peer pressure to play anti cheat games was too great, but so far it hasn’t.

For the off chance where I want to play a game that doesn’t run well on Linux, is it a good idea to do that via VM instead of dual boot, or is it too much hassle? Will there be performance hit or any issues with those games?

    Its been a while since I’ve had any gpu’s attached to a windows VM but I think my time pre dates the change. I realized they were not actually doing anything for my given workloads so I sold most of them. The P40 is setup in a VM for tensorflow now and one of these days Ill get the time to go back to that.
