Dual boot is an option too, which is what I intended to do, but so far all the games I care about work. I still have the windows partition just in case, but the main worrying factor for me was Elite Dangerous, which played but didn't recognize my HOTAS. It sees it now, though it does still treat the throttle as an Xbox controller, so if it can't fix that I may again end up using Windows for that game and Linux for everything else.
I had that for some time, but it was a bit of a hassle... I could, but I found myself rebooting more than I wanted to, to switch OS.
