I switched to linux in 2010 for this reason. Removed my dual boot this year. Unfortunately curiosity and boredom got the better of me and I was able to get Star Craft 2 running in wine recently.
Funny thread of comments with all the ways people go about things! Here’s one, perhaps: do nothing. Set a timer on your phone, then just lie down and close your eyes and do nothing until the timer is over. Could even satisfy your information desires by mulling over old information to think of new things or remembering forgotten information!
Valve has made it easier than ever to run some Windows-only games on Linux with Steam Play, which uses a special version of Wine with better graphics support.
It has been hit-or-miss for me when I wander off of the pre-approved game list, but it does make it easier.
