Oh, I already did that in the past. But with dual booting you first start to set everything up twice (I want to check my email at any time for example).
Then you have a game or two that only work in Windows (Apex Legends). And over time you start to mainly boot into Windows just on the off-chance you want to play a quick round.
I still use Linux on my server of course. Recently I also got a MacBook Air for portability. But Windows really is just my "everything works" box.
Hell, even Nvidia GPU features I use on the daily (Like Broadcast) have no Linux support. So the switch isn't worth it for me while Linux support is still seen as an afterthought.
