I’m in the middle of moving, but once I’m set up I’m going to look into dual booting. I’m not sure I’ll 100% be able to get rid of windows, though. For a start, I’ve heard NVIDIA is a nightmare on Linux and I’ve only recently got a new computer so i don’t really want to buy more hardware.
Hopefully dual booting will allow me to experiment and try alternatives for software which doesn’t have a Linux version, and i hear that one of the things that chatbots are actually good at is diagnosing and fixing Linux issues. So I’m hopeful, but I’m not assuming it’ll be entirely painless.

No issues with Nvidia for me on arch. The drivers are fine and there’s even a cool Linux version of shadowplay if you use that.
The Nvidia open-source driver situation has been improving. Supposedly Valve has been working with them on it alongside their ARM support.
You can also try your hand with the closed source drivers but ymmv.
