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)
incredible how you are so dismissive, but actually is you that has no idea. Steam in Linux runs Proton, Proton runs pressure-vessel as I said in my first message, which uses its own container runtime, akin to other Linux container runtimes, using cgroups etc, which provides the security sandboxing…
You’re gaming in a Linux VM?
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?

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.

not half of that is true.
