I agree. Linux gaming has come a long way, but if OP likes playing any competitive game, it's best to dual boot. Linux gamers have been banned from Apex Legends, for example, after the anti-cheat falsely flagged them.
Having said that, I've had a dual boot for 7 years now and I've only used my Windows side for a few rare games (Apex, Overwatch, etc). Never for software. But then again I'm a software dev so YMMV.
This is what I do. I don't want to get burned by a shitty product.
