Posted February 9, 2020 Basically he is visualizing Windows 10 through Linux with a GPU pass-through and says there is little to no performance impact for Windows gaming. I am kind of sick of Windows software rot and this looks like a really easy way to nuke the windows installation and load up another. Good idea?

Posted February 9, 2020 There are apparently linix distros built specifically to support this kind of thing. The idea as I understand it is to enhance security, because it creates a control layer for windows accessing the internet. The GPU pass through is apparently more trouble than is often advertised. i looked at it hard but decided not to do it myself. I may yet change my mind. Not a pro, not even very good. I’m just old and have time currently. Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake. Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I am not using windows but I did set up some dual-boot systems so far at which the win-install is usually for gaming only. I never did a gpu pass-through yet, and no vm (without it) did match wine/proton. Next to that, I don't have a personal use-case for a Windows-vm.

I have considered wetting my feet with that first. My thinking is to have 3 partitions on my SSD, one for Linux, one for windows, and one for files. What partition sizes would you recommend?

If you have a cheap ssd or harddisk lying around then use that. 16-32gb for the system itself is a good start, you may want a separate /home later on, its size can vary depending on what you are going to do with your computer; it is quite easy to fill 512gb with games from steam, and if you're going to install vm's you should consider sufficient space. You should have a swap-partition as well, at about memory-size, and maybe a separate boot partition. One thing is for sure, 3 partitions won't cut it...
