Logitech G600 here, used razer in the past and their build quality is awful. Expect left click to start double clicking within 2-6 months of light to moderate use on those.
No complaints with the G600 on either windows or linux, use piper to assign keys on linx.
Dual booting to a single drive(or an array) is a recipe for disaster. You'd be much better off putting each OS on it's own separate drive, and setting arch as the boot distro since grub will allow you to switch to windows if need be. Windows has a tendency to screw with boot partitions so it's more trouble than it's worth to install it "alongside" on a single drive/raided drives.
RAID0 on nvme barely does anything anyways(especially for gaming,) if anything it's worse as it makes some of the lower que depth operations(and latency) slower.
So to your question, you can in theory, but ideally you shouldn't.
Not OP, but personally i got bored of windows and wanted more control over my OS, especially as internet surveillance and data harvesting continue to be on the rise.
In my opinion a lot of the pushback comes from the fact that most distributions(especially recommended starters like Mint) don't come with the packages you need for gaming out of the box. Things like Lutris/vkd3d/gamescope/dxvk/gamemode/mangohud/WINE/ProtonGE, etc.
As someone who shifted to linux over the past year or so there was a metric fuckload of things i needed to learn and things i needed to tweak, especially when things went wrong. To the point i have over 10-20k character count tutorials i wrote for myself whenever i need to reinstall from scratch. These days i can get everything up and running fairly quickly, but that initial learning experience wasn't all fun and games for sure.
I had a leg up by already having my feet wet in linux server/virtual machines, but for someone who's coming directly from windows with zero experience and wants things to just work out of the box i can see why so many aren't interested. It doesn't help nvidia drivers are still horrible(in terms of desktop feel) for one of the most popular desktop environments for windows converts out there, KDE. Don't get me started on how you somehow need to know to disable compositing(or toggle via hotkey constantly like i do when i'm forced to use xorg instead of wayland) if you have more than one monitor in KDE or else your FPS will effectively halve itself.
Linux as a whole has a MASSIVE user experience problem if you want to do anything outside of basic office work and web browsing. Distributions like Garuda(my personal choice) help a lot because they give you the ability to have all of that stuff in the OOBE or an easy to use GUI, but that still only goes so far when little niggling issues crop up and you effectively need to relearn your entire workflow. It's just not something everybody is willing to do for the sake of not having Satya Nadella know when and where they poop.
My biggest hope is valve finally publishing SteamOS as an actual desktop OS. Because i know they could do it well as they seem to be keenly aware of the needs of the average gaming user, unlike most distribution maintainers these days which just assume you're a linux intermediate by default and have completely forgotten the long and arduous path to mastery the OS requires compared to rock-dead-simple windows.
Yep. There's a reason whenever i install an adblocker for a friend or family member they suddenly and mysteriously no longer "get viruses" anymore.
Ad blocking is a security measure, because these ad networks have zero accountability for what you are shown. I will never in a million years allow ads onto my network intentionally. If i deem a service good enough that i think they deserve my money, i grab some merch or throw them a donation. It gives them more than tens of thousands of my ad impressions ever would.
Only issue i had with mine is that it doesn't tend to like charging from the contacts on the back, not a huge deal when i can just use usb C anyways. But yeah, it's super luck of the draw. I love the controller to death though so i can't blame people for continually coming back for more. The playstation alternative isn't exactly as good on PC feature wise and has less paddles too.
Yep, they backed off because people are starting to realize WOTC needs the players more than the players need WOTC. It's a very odd reversal compared to most industries. WOTC could explode tomorrow and people could keep happily playing D&D for years to come without any issues.
Meh, D:OS2 is a great game until the latter 1/4th in my opinion. Act 1/2 are fantastic, act 3 drags a bit and act 4(arx) is the absolute worst in my opinion. I sincerely hope BG3 doesn't have the same problem, since D:OS1 had a similar issue where it was great until the very end for me(scavenger hunt.) Sadly i dislike the latter parts of each game enough i'm just not inclined to ever replay them. It really soured the whole experience for me unfortunately.
Arguably the definitive edition makes D:OS2 worse too, since it makes side quests damn near mandatory or else you'll be constantly underleveled.
I tend to avoid linux native, although i do give it a go when possible to see if it doesn't suck(which it usually does.)
Usually you get a much more uniform and smooth experience with wine or proton. Which makes sense given how there are a ridiculous amount of distros out there.
Level by using is great, sadly it falls apart when crafting comes into the mix.
The traditional systems work great for combat skills, but i hope they come up with either something else or greatly accelerate it for non combat skills. Needing to create 7 million iron daggers doesn't exactly invoke the vision of a master blacksmith to me.
Chances are most companies aren't going to make two separate production lines with and without a removable battery. The cost likely outweighs the profit i'd wager. Much like how we see apple finally begrudgingly moving to USB-C despite no NA law requiring them to do so.
