Yes. Dual boot, or even simpler, try running your games in Windows VM in Linux. Performance hit should be minimal.
I would be surprised if they'd run well in a VM but I'll have to try! I have an AMD fx 8 core and a rtx 580 so I think compatibility wise I'll be good.
Other games I play a lot are cs2 and board game sim, some pubg and gtav (which i know I'd need to use windows for)
You'll definitely be struggling with that GPU, so maybe that's a no-go.
