Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

Why is everyone always so stuck to one side or the other? Dual booting is a thing. You can have your cake and eat it too.
Just FYI, the expression makes more sense the other way around:
You can't eat your cake and have it too.
And yeah, dual booting is absolutely a thing. That said, I find rebooting to play a game silly, so I just avoid stuff that doesn't work on Linux. I can totally see the opposite perspective as well.
My linux usually boots very fast while Windows takes its sweet time, but still within 5m from power on to everything is up and warmed up.
So not something that stops me from rebooting to play a particular game
It's not boot time, but context switching (close apps and whatnot). I suppose I could hibernate, but I still lose access to my network services, like my kids' Minecraft server and network shares. And then Windows usually has massive updates because I launch it so rarely.
If I play on Linux, I just launch the game, and that's it.
Before Steam came to Linux, I just didn't play games very often. Now that most games work, I can just push play and I'm in a game, so I play a lot more games.
