I can't upvote you hard enough. I built a new machine in April when it was finally time to get off of Windows 7. I thought I'd try gaming on Linux since I heard it got so much better. Holy shit has it gotten better! In the last 5ish months I've only found one game I couldn't get to run and it was a demo. Starcraft 2, the new System Shock, pretty much everything I throw at it has been great. There's never been a better time to not have a Windows partition!
Same, built a PC this year, Intel CPU and Radeon GPU. "Dual boot" with win10 for gaming but after booting back and forth a couple times to test performance it just stays in Linux 24/7. At least I did a big NTFS partition with my Steam library on it (Proton emulated games will run on both!), so it's not like I'm out a ton of HDD space for the unused Windows system.
