The Daws of my choice do not run on Linux.

Isn't dual-booting convenient for you? I've never done it myself.

Dual booting is the worst possible combination, given that any windows update will kill the linux bootloader (major update to be fair, but it will happen and then you have to recovery iso to fix the bootloader every time). Plus having to disable all boot optimizations on the windows side because of tainted filesystem that linux can't figure out without risk of data destruction. I'd rather just use a VM - but the same games that don't run on linux also dont want you playing in a VM.

Dual booting with windows running on the same box? Sooner or later windows WILL destroy the other system.

I like Linux, it's my laptop daily driver, but there's nothing I would do on Linux on my gaming PC that I can't do on Windows.

Linux just has no upside over Windows in a dual boot context.
