Dual boot windows and Linux with separate drives. Lock your windows drive in a timelock safe and have it only open on Fridays or whenever you want it to open, biweekly even. Or Thursdays when you have a game session with your friends. When you get the urge to game you need to do one of: * install windows and games from scratch on a new drive * get gaming working on Linux( good luck) * get an angle grinder to bust open the safe * drive to your friends house and get the backup physical keys With these barriers, I almost never bust out the windows hard drive for gaming. I do the same thing with beer. This technique mostly works for me. -- This is a psychological technique called "pre-committing". https://www.amazon.com/Genie-Hand-Time-Lock-Safe/dp/B00NFIDTMK https://www.amazon.com/Genie-Hand-Time-Lock-Safe/dp/B00NFIDT...
