Do you guys recommend dual-booting a Linux distro on a secondary drive, or running Linux as a main OS, using Wine for Windows applications?

I've wanted to make the switch for a very long time, just worried about compatibility issues or even performance loss in gaming using Wine.

Linux gaming is getting really good with Proton or Proton-GE unless it's a rootkit like Valorant or an online game with anti-cheat (Destiny, FF Online). I play mostly single player so it suits my needs. But I have a windows 10 install for audio recording needs... I don't have time to learn a new DAW.

One more thing, dual booting on the same hard drive is more trouble than it's worth if you have any other option.
