    Other way around. In a Windows VM on Linux

    You are playing in a VM on Linux? So you have 2 GPUs?

    Linux is way less bloatware than Windows. Hard not to really

    By the time you're in the VM you are back into the bloat? Also you need a pass through GPU for hardware acceleration?

    Ah, Windows VM on Linux. I thought the other way around. I mean if you don’t have much of another choice I guess that’s all you got but most things work on Linux now, so why do it indeed. GPU pass through works with many VM programs tho afaik

    I am. I run cachyos which I run most of my steam games from. If I pirate something I do it in a VM to test it out, and if I like it then I buy it on steam/GOG.

    The VM has very little performance loss either because they're just that good now or because I have a pretty good pc I'm not sure. I also run games like BanderLord in a VM so I can mod with vortex. (Yes the setup is very stupid, but it's a glass castle and I'm scared to move anything)

    Steam already runs games in a form of container (pressure vessel) in Linux, it's quite secure.

    Also, in this day an age, anybody that is conscious or security plays games in a dedicated machine..

    Edit: for those downvoting me and saying that Steam games in Linux are not containenarized and more secure, go read https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/tree/main/pressure-vessel which is the basis of Proton and sandboxed, since like 10 years....

    Steam does not run games in a container at all... Are you talking about Proton?

    It really just seems like you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Best of luck to you.
