Yes it will work but you will lose substantial performance in terms of frames per second

>steam in vm
i assume you mean with gpu passthrough?
Noah Stewart
Steam over PlayOnLinux or GPU Passthrough. Without GPU passthrough performance will be shit in the VM.

you should kys yourself

i think linux is not for you
John Collins
I'm a normie. Please elaborate.

If it's for gaming just install windows
Linux for literally anything else
Caleb Allen
Because I want to play games? You have to learn at some point.
Nolan Sanders
So would dual booting be the best option?
Xavier Martinez
Linux literally fails at games
Not a good option
and this is a linux fanatic saying this
Aiden Johnson
I'm not a big fan of dual booting or VM's
but you're computer, you're free to do whatever with it
Ayden Roberts
Just install opensuse or ubuntu and dual boot windows on a separate drive if you have to. Linux really isn't that different, the main obstacle is moving over all your data and making it your home.
I do nothing that I couldn't do in linux, but I installed windows instead of opensuse when i bought my recent SSD so I'm sorta stuck in the windows environment again.

Steam has a native client for Linux. Problem is that probably less than a third of your game library will be supported on Linux, but I have had success getting Windows games to run on Linux using Wine. Keep in mind that Wine is pretty hit-or-miss.
Jayden Bailey
I admire your optimism. I hope you learn Linux and come to enjoy it, I really do.

>third
Relative. 60% of my library is Linux supported. However, the majority of games that aren't I'll never play because they were shitware I got in bundles or games that were given away for free for a while.
Xavier Ortiz
That's exactly what I do. I use Gentoo for daily stuff and Windows exclusively for gayms.
I don't see any point in having to troubleshoot shit for gay ass gayms, but I don't mind doing that for other stuff, hence the dual boot.
Aiden James
I'm also a Linux fanatic and I play all my Windows games in it just fine.
Ethan Nguyen
Dual boot. Keep wangblows on a HDD since it's just for games and put GNU+Linux(-libre) on a SSD.
Connor Peterson
Thank you. I'll watch the videos.
Nicholas Brown
Okay so my question then is are there any drawbacks to using PCI passthrough?
Jonathan Reyes
You can't use the GPU on Linux so you'll be either limited to the 2nd GPU or iGPU. That is, unless you reboot into the regular kernel.
Will have bad performance unless you're on an SSD or install the VM on a separate HDD.
You'll have to spend more time setting up the VM if you want to use 1 monitor, and/or 1 mouse/keyboard.
Takes significantly more effort to set up than a regular dual boot.
But you get the benefit of fully controlling the environment windows is in as well as an additional layer of security.
Alexander Butler
you realise you can install steam on linux, r-right?
Adam Garcia
Install Windows, then install GNU.
Noah Martin
read the post before yours fucking dumb as faggot KYS fucking normie POS
