You can start following here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/ it is a subreddit dedicated to hardware passthrough.

They run Windows in a virtual machine, and pass a dedicated GPU into the VM, the results are very impressive, but the installation is very complicated, and you won't get rid of Windows.

As VFIO matures, and the API stabilizes a bit more, I think we will see distros offering an easy "install and play" experience.

There is a complete guide here: https://davidyat.es/2016/09/08/gpu-passthrough/ And as you can see, it involves all kinds of steps.

One day, hopefully Windows will be just a shell to play games on :-)
