what is your experience with dual booting?

have been thinking of switching over to Linux for a while but game functionality has always been a big reason for my hesitance. though I recently found out about dual booting and it seems like a perfect solution for me, was wondering what your experience with dual booting is for gaming and if you would recommend?

I planned to use Linux as my main OS and play everything I can on there, but then for the games that do not work on Linux I'd then download and use on Windows. is it easy to switch over? would it be easier for me to just remain on Windows instead?

I plan on using something like Mint as I have heard it is very beginner friendly, but I presume distro doesn't really matter for gaming function and dual booting.

thanks
