It’s quite challenging. Beyond gaming and software, I’d need to adapt to a fresh setup for coding and figure out what to do when things go wrong.

No, because there's still performance issues and considering that I'm not running powerful hardware I'm not exactly willing to give away that performance. Not to mention the quirks that Linux distro's can have. I will only consider switching to Linux once there's a genuine advantage to doing and little to no disadvantages compared to Windows. Since otherwise there's no point of wasting the time to switch and get used to something that's marginally better.

This approach, swapping Linux for Windows, reflects my stance on enterprise solutions. To clarify, I simply enable dual-booting. My main computer uses Windows since it's my gaming rig, while my laptop operates on Linux for everyday tasks.

You're facing some challenges with Windows for gaming, and you're weighing the pros and cons of using WSL2. It sounds like you're already managing Kali with Kex, but you're thinking about a bigger change. That decision definitely comes with extra effort—don't worry, it's a common consideration!

Linux is capable of mimicking or executing every Windows application—even games—without relying on an emulator or virtual machine that would reduce speed. This is possible because it can directly access and interpret the underlying system resources.

Yes, but Wine/Proton isn't quite there yet as far as stability, and there's still a bit of performance overhead IIRC. Plus I'm lazy!

If you're interested, just give it a shot! I'm currently operating near the limits of my processing power, so I'm avoiding extra strain.

I could give it a shot, but I don’t want to compromise performance for Linux usage.

i've tinkered with Linux for over 26 years now. i love it. some computers i own have nothing but Linux (a desktop and a laptop). another laptop have windowz, which has software on it i use for my car. and my regular desk top has a drive with Linux and a drive with windowz. there is software i run, that just doesn't work in linux. it sucks, but that is the only reason i still have computers with windowz on them.
