[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 dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10.

Havent had issues much, even done upgrades of each. Ubuntu updates do sometimes trip out Bitlocker and prompt for a recovery key.

I have the same use case. Ubuntu for most things. Windows for gaming only.

I even do this with an eGPU. Ubuntu does well with it using X11 (not wayland) but requires reboots to connect/disconnect the pcie channels. Windows is better at it but struggles with USB enumerations on occaison.
