Using windows 11 got me to switch my home PC to Linux at the start of the year so I have them to thank or that. My work PC just got updated from W10 to W11 and so far it's so much worse than I was expecting, purely based on performance/buginess alone. I have no problems with most the features but it all feels one step forward two steps back when the whole system seems to be much less responsive
I'm just waiting for escape from tarkov to send the email to battle eye to enable Linux support and I'll throw windows into the sun
I recommend dual booting if that's the only thing holding you up, as long as you keep Linux/windows on separate disks. I am in linux most of the time but I keep windows around just in case I need to use software that doesn't work with wine/proton. It seems daunting but you'll start learning how to use Linux as soon as you start using it as your daily driver.
If you are playing Tarkov on a daily basis then I could see that getting old quick
I'm not unfamiliar with Linux and I do for the most part play daily
