Linux as the main OS?

Question

linux

For PC mainly:
1. I develop games (Unity + VS)
2. I program in Python (PyCharm)
3. I play
4. Surf the net, watch movies, TV shows
Initially I thought to install Linux, but
1. A normal alternative to VS (and I I love it) there is no Linux
2. I read that the games there are not as good as we would like. I buy a fairly powerful PC, I would like to squeeze the maximum
For games, a virtual Windows could also be installed, but the absence of one of the main working tools (on the main OS) upsets. Why is Linux needed? Everyone already knows its advantages, in the future I am going to study other PLs, and in general I want to pump my knowledge in the field of Computer Science and IT. I think to put Windows as a basis and virtual Linux. Will this be the right decision in my case?

PS on Linux almost did not work.

Answer 1

No. Install Linux in virtual machine or use wsl

Answer 2

Almost point by point.
About VS - it's high time to switch to Rider. Although it is paid. But it must be under the line.
Forget about units. It certainly works there, but sometimes with huge problems.
About games - forget on Linux. Vidyakh will not normally pass through the virtual machine, and the lags will be tough.
Total - the right decision was suggested by Vladimir Korotenko

Answer 3

What is wrong with Windows? For some specific tasks, you can run Linux in a virtual machine.

Answer 4

If you stick to VisualStudio, you can't live without it and it doesn't bother you, then you need Windows.
Toys, especially spinal - Winda.
The rest is cross-platform, it doesn't matter what, it's somewhat safer in Lin, but now it's not so critical.
If you want to seriously get acquainted with Linux - no virtual machines, only dual block. Virtual machines are if you want to set up a server for yourself and delve into it. Working in a virtual machine in DE is meaningless sadomasochism, you won’t be able to study the system either, because you will always switch to familiar Windows instead of mastering another OS.

Answer 5

I think to put Windows as a basis and virtual Linux. Will this be the right decision in my case?

As soon as "Playing" appears in the list of tasks - that's all, you can immediately forget about linux as the main axis. No matter what anyone says about thousands of games on Steam - AAA-class games there by the piece and it’s not at all a fact that they are needed.
Multimedia (sound, video) in linux - sadomaso maximum hardcore
Development and tyrnet in linux is no worse (apart from the fact that the browser can easily be left without video autoplay)
Generally good for work. For a home computer - no and will not be for a long time.

Answer 6

I'll add my five cents.
I sat on Linux for a long time (8 years) - I was mainly engaged in web development, and occasionally I did something cross-platform on c#. For games, Windows was the second system.
But a year and a half ago I started making mobile applications on Xamarin - I needed VisualStuidio. Moved to Windows 10 + WSL.
As long as everything suits.

Answer 7

And I have Linux as the main system at home for 8 years now. Win10 installed as a second system purely for gaming.
Parents also have Linux on their PC and netbook - since only a browser is used there, everything has been working like clockwork for more than a year.
At work on linux/freebsd servers. On two working linux laptops on Windows third, as specific equipment and software are used. Just firewood only for Windows)
