Because I just plain don't have the time right now. I'm busy with buying an apartment and getting all of that set up while also starting a new project at work. When I have time to relax I want to relax and not have to setup an entire new PC.

I want to get the new pc after the moving is done as long as I have budget left, so it would come at the same time as when I would be interested in putting the effort in to setting up dual booting.

I've tried using Linux in Virtualbox on windows and use that for anything but gaming but its just plain annoying working like that certainly with multiple monitors.

    Setting up dual boot takes like an hour. But yeah, there's no rush to it, linux will still be there tomorrow. I don't recommend buying a new pc and changing OS at the same time though. You don't want to test your new hardware on a system you're not familiar with.

    Its not "just" setting it up but getting all software I need, installing the games again, getting my whole spiel in the browser working correctly again, figuring out how to set up and use dual booting.

    The reason I want to do it on a new pc is cause I'll still have my old one to use until I find the new one set up enough to replace it, so if I can't figure it out in a day I can still have some relaxation time. I can sell the old one after.
