Exactly what I have done too.

Switched to Lemmy and to Linux Desktop.

Dual booting Windows 10 probably until it stops receiving security updates, then all in on Linux.

It sounds to me like a little excuse not going in all the way now. Hey, no offense here.

I also have a Windows partition, I exclusively use it for the AntiCheat games I already own. I now check in advance if it's supported and otherwise just skip that game.

I'm still in the Early days of Linux and I had trouble twice with other distros before.

I think third time is the charm. Still I have been bitten before so I'm holding on to Windows for a while just to play it safe.

I am daily driving Linux though, I hardly use windows. But I need a working computer so I can always fall back to Windows if all else fails.

Ah, sounds reasonable.
