Dualboot might be good since then you can tune windows to be a dedicated gaming OS which auto launches the needed things. I went from win10 to mint and haven’t booted back into windows for months.
Cant speak to VR cos I switched to a Quest when I realised all I did was play BeatSaber, and the room with my computer is not very big.
I got an iPad, think it was second generation. That thing was fucking useless. Couldn’t do anything without a subscription service. Games sucked. Couldn’t sideload. Don’t know what I was thinking.
A decade later I got a galaxy tablet and its one of the most useful things I’ve ever bought. Writing tablet in meetings. Second screen while gaming. Portable screen while training/cooking. OLED is perfect for reading comics.
Sorry I think I got distracted and missed the spirit of the question.
