Games, are the most common, and one I cannot entirely disagree with.

But other productivity software, I would contend could be run from a
virtual machine, within linux, interacting with the same Windows partition
you currently use on bare metal.

And once you consider that funky/whacky scenario, have you considered
looking into the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and just putting Ubuntu
inside of windows?

YMMV, but it might be an interesting dive into a rabbit hole of learning :)
