I have a back up SSD with windows on I swap out to play the very few games that still require it that I just can't give up. But I don't have the need to duel boot anymore. I just keep the SSD to scratch my itch

    Games with intrusive anticheat like Battlefield 6 Rainbow Six, League of Legends ect. You need to check protondb website if games you play run on Linux before you make the jump

    Right now I have a console to play those games, but don't know what I'll do when the next "generation" comes out.

    Next Gen will likely be very expensive due do very high RAM prices. IMO current consoles will run for at least few more years.
