I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don't use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I'm switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100% graphics card or less? I want to know about all these. Please people in my condition help. Thanks in advance :)

I would try to keep Windows, go for dual boot. Then, from Linux, convert the partitions to a VM disk with qemu ( https://superuser.com/questions/1389103/windows-10-uefi-physical-to-kvm-libvirt-virtual#1400203 ) and finally use that, so that all the games installations are kept. This way, many other things will be available too, like browser's history and so on. Making backups is cumbersome, I always tend to forget something. Of course, this alternative process is riddled with gotchas. But worth to try.
