  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?

  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.

    Steam does not run games in a container at all…

      incredible how you are so dismissive, but actually is you that has no idea. Steam in Linux runs Proton, Proton runs pressure-vessel, which uses its own container runtime, akin to other Linux container runtimes, using cgroups etc, which provides the security sandboxing…
