Could I theoretically keep gaming on windows 10, while doing any other work (banking etc) on linux? (lemmy.world)

Maybe a dumb question, the biggest reason I can't fully move is i do enjoy VR and sim racing, both of which I've seen have limited linux support still, and though I enjoy figuring things out and fixing stuff, I don't want to always be tinkering instead of just racing/gaming.

Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it's totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?

I did just order a 2 tb drive to put linux mint on, to give gaming on linux another try. I haven't had a linux install for a few years now and kind of miss it. But i do wonder if I'll need to reinstall all my games again or can just access them off the existing hard drives (I know, NTFS formatted wont be optimum for linux).

If I'm in the wrong spot to ask, please inform.

I don't know how you fix that problem, but I'll admit that you do need some functional anti-cheat. Nobody wants to go back to the days of PC gaming being the wild west while consoles were nice and secure.

I wonder if in a world less focused on Windows some multiplayer games would just work on some secure container type of thing, or just have most of the gameplay run on server or something. There are definitely other solutions that wouldn't rely on the Windows-specific crutches of the current implementations.
