Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience “hasn’t been great” is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.
Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).
It sucks that you have to maintain it though. If you don’t update from time to time, you’ll have to update windows, steam, the game and probably thr gpu drivers as well.
I sincerely hope that Linux becomes at least mainstream enough to not have compatibility issues. It’s still not something I would recommend to people that don’t know how (or don’t want) to troubleshoot issues. If installed linux on my mom’s laptop she’d be constantly reaching out to figure out how to do/solve stuff.
