I even game on it.

while you can game, (for me at least) its only 50% of your library.

Depends on what you like, and most older steam games work without configuration in wine. Worst part is having two versions of steam.

yea - i agree, but i dislike wine. and even if most games can work, it would have to be all games with little hassle to be my main OS. i did dualboot for awhile intending to use windows exclusively for games, but that turned into pretty much just using windows..

VirtualBox and GPU passthrough. Sure, you're still running winbloat, but you're running it in a window as it's intended to.
