You’d gain HDR!
Windows is nearly effortless to maintain if you only use it for entertainment.
Maybe we just have different priorities, but right now, I’d be miserable and wasting so much time if I was stuck on Linux only, even though I use Linux like 90% of the time. Some media and some games just won’t look right.
And to emphasize, it would take sooo much time to massage this issue on Linux. Dual booting saves me a ton of maintenance and tweaking.
Err, I already main windows (for my rig that is, not the servers). I have HDR and everything else, i would not gain anything i have not right now with dualbooting linux. Except the illusion I have ditched windows while being on linux :)
Everything else i could somehow cope with the loss, replace or code from scratch for linux, except HDR :(
