I find using anything other than a tiling window manager to be extremely painful.
I keep a Windows 11 partition on my primary for games. Otherwise I would be full-time Linux on my personal machines.

I used to dual boot too but I started playing more and more on Linux and I didn't touch my Windows for two years.

Pretty much exactly how I ended up on Linux full-time myself. Eventually the only thing left on my Windows partition was EverQuest, and then suddenly one day WINE started supporting that pretty much flawlessly and that was the end of my dual-boot.
Then along comes Humble Bundle and GOG and Steam all with a wide variety of Linux-native games, and later on well-emulated Windows games too, and I just never felt the need (or even want) to dual-boot ever again.
I step onto the Windows GUI occasionally for work and I always walk away missing Sway. There's those snap windows but despite that the whole UI just seems so busy and crowded.
This could just be because at some point everything I did was either in a terminal or browser (when did that happen?) and Windows always seems to be sitting around waiting for you to open some windowed app.
