I’d say. Try and figure out if the softwares you use have Linux alternatives, most do. Learn how to use those and you won’t depend on windows.
As for games. Some just won’t run on Linux and there is nothing you can do about it. If that’s a dealbreaker then you are unfortunately stuck with windows. That being said, many games work!
I don’t recommend dual booting. Sure it’s nice on the surface but in reality you’ll just be on what ever OS is most convenient, which by the sound of it will probably be windows and you won’t find a reason to boot into Linux.
It’s sadly the biggest gaming platform in the world…
