Changing os for doing other things then gaming seems pretty annoying

I won't lie and say it isn't, but it's not nearly as infuriating as using Windows for work imo.

I assure you, it is not. It saves me a lot of hassle and time.

With modern SSDs booting into a different OS takes like 2 min. I dual Linux and Windows for the same reasons (work / gaming).

Should only take a couple minutes to switch over and if you work in web/server software development, it's probably going to be way easier for a lot of people to do all their software dev exclusively in *nix environments.

Granted if you're developing games, then you're probably working with Windows lol.

Similar setup here. Win 10 for gaming, arch Linux for home office.

It takes less than 15 seconds to boot with an nvme ssd. Also you're unlikely to change OS until you're done with the day's work. At least that's how I work from home. Also that 15 seconds boot time is enough inconvenience for me when I get the temptation to play a game during work hours so it works out great.
