Depends on the person I guess. I set myself up to dual boot. Last time I booted into windows was well over a month ago, and it was during the initial move over to Linux. I still keep a dual boot, but I'm much more inclined to use the new Linux setup rather than Windows (10, I use 11 for work laptop and I am not at all tempted to install it even for a second boot).

I feel like when people have a work computer (running Windows usually) the switch to Linux is generally far easier. Work is the most important thing someone might need Windows for.
