Same here. Switched over to mint as my main driver about 3 months ago. I keep a win 10 installation in order to play one game. If windows tries to mess with my dual boot, I'll boot windows out the door. I don't need to pay that game that bad...
Edit: spelling is hard
Out of sheer noseyness what game is it that's stuck on windows
Probably fortnight or rocket league if I were guessing.
RL works perfectly on linux. i play every now and then on mint.
Also could be Destiny, it runs but they ban you. Many multiplayer games don't run or get you banned on linux just due to the DRM, it's partially the companies' fault for not supporting it, but mainly it's that no linux user is installing a fucking rootkit DRM just to play Fortnite.
I dual booted for ages between random Linux installs and windows because of a couple games.
The only way I found that windows wouldn't fuck with the bootloader was to keep windows on a separate drive.
