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.

Take a look at qemu + virt-manager (gui) and maybe if 2 gpu's plugged into same monitor check github for looking-glass

That's not the issue, it's the changing kernel extensions and passthrough methods of hardware. Causes hiccups from time to time.

I only meant it as a general recommendation that you or others can also take a look at it. :)

This is what I was using. And like another poster says, that isn't specifically the problem.
