I still have a dual boot Windows for that reason. I only need it every few months or years, but it’s good to rule out compatibility issues. For example games started to hang my PC. Before I start birching in the mesa bug tracker for amd issues, I tried if the same happened on my Windows install. It did. So I could rule out driver issues and could directly focus on the hardware being the culprit.
