    For the beginning you can also dual boot. For games it depends. A lot of stuff works right out of the box but a lot of stuff requires additional steps or doesn't work. You can also check if a game is playable on Linux on protondb.com

      I wouldn't mind dual booting, that's for sure. I looked into it previously but was put off because I saw discouraging information about Windows 11 with all the secure boot nonsense, but looking further it seems it may be a minor hiccup.

        These can be bypassed with some registry editing in the installer. Press Shift+F10 to open cmd, type regedit, and in regedit, go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup and in setup right click and create a key named "LabConfig" in it, you can add DWORD 32-bit values to bypass stuff. And double click them and set the value to 1. Here are the possibilities:

        BypassSecureBootCheck

        BypassCPUCheck

        BypassTPMCheck

        BypassRAMCheck
