I saw from a post that you can basically host your own mini windows inside of linux to play games with, and you can choose what to share with that little windows so microsoft can’t track you in any way. Does anyone have a tutorual/guide for that? Also what Distro would be best for it?

    You can switch between the two, but it does require a reboot. So in that case two discreet would be more convenient. But for encoding and what not you probably can get away with a rather cheap discreet that works well on nouveau (or go Radeon) and keep the 4090 for gaming.

      Interesting.

      My system is all AMD, I prefer not to wrestle with Nvidia’s drivers on Linux, lol.

      It’s been years since I ran Windows on my machine, but I still miss my photo editing software. Nice as DarkTable is, it’s no replacement for CaptureOne. And it’s pretty much not possible to get CaptureOne running in a productive manner under Wine. I looked into doing passthrough to a VM a while back, but it just seemed a hassle and I didn’t have a spare GPU. I game on my Linux install, so iGPU isn’t sufficient for my needs there. My photography hobby just has to suffer. 😂
