I was so reluctant to transition to Linux for gaming. I've been using Linux since 2007, so I'm not new to the OS.
I took the plunge a handful of months ago, and it is an amazing experience. The games I like to play actually saw performance gains when switching over.
I still dual boot a Win 10 partition for outliers, but so far the only game to get installed there has been BF6, due to the requirements of their anti-cheat.
I also have a spare windows drive for BF6, but it's so unbelievably mid that in practice I don't really even play it
How easy was it to do the signed boot?
Lmfao it's a piece of shit, basically I have all three of my drives hanging out of the 5.25 bay on the front of my machine. That way I can easily unplug my 2 Linux drives when I enable secure boot. Otherwise my Linux won't boot, which fucking sucks to fix. So basically it's a pain in the ass and BF6 just isn't good enough for me to spend that effort.
