[Question] to Linux from Windows as a daily driver

[Question] to Linux from Windows as a daily driver - Lemmy

My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it. My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff. I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs? Thanks!

I installed a dual boot Win/Linux Mint back in 2016, over the next 5 years, I believe I booted Windows twice. The only issue I ever had was some Excel macros from work weren't compatible with LibreOffice Calc. I ended up installing Office using Wine as a workaround. When I upgraded to Mint 21.1, I removed the dual boot. Linux just works. And works. And works.
