Running a gaming/entertainment system on your workstation irresponsible. Even before I switched to Manjaro Linux for my daily driver workstation, I had separate machines for gaming and working. First of all, because I've seen many a PC game anti-cheat software cause system-wide issues. Second, because I don't even do those things in the same room. Third, because for your common web developer a 2nd PC is cheap. You can get a refurbished i5/i7 machine, add a new 32GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for less than $500.

Dealing with one work OS is by far easier than dealing with two of them. Also, XFCE runs circles around the Windows GUI while providing better features liked a tabbed file browser and a taskbar that natively supports all the features that I used to have to hack into Windows with 7+ taskbar tweaker.
