    for gamers:
    windows 10 is the best believe me. if the problem is the money than install a cracked windows os. a lot of people do this, but don't ever think of installing linux to play games. at least you will sure 100% that the game will run on windows

    Question: what would it take for AMD or intel and the GPU makers to create hardware that could run 2 OSes at once? I'm not talking about VMs, I mean to OSes that could be switched between with native access to hardware.

    When you install the nvidia driver on ubuntu or mint please use the one in the repos (sudo apt install nvidia-390), you may have to wait a week or two to get the latest driver there but you it is low maintenance (you did not need to reinstall the driver after a kernel update)
