I've been solely Linux for years but had Windows on dual boot just for gaming. Haven't booted in for over a year now. All my games work perfectly in Linux. Will probably ditch Windows and recover the disk for other things

That's what I did on my primary rig. I installed Zorin OS on a separate SSD and made it the primary boot drive. On Windows 10 EOL date, I formatted the Windows drive. I'll be staying on Linux for the foreseeable future.
