I use Linux for most things and only boot into Windows for games. Wintendo is a real thing. I'd like to be able to play the games I want to without worrying about being frog-marched into an OS without a taskbar. At this point I would settle for a deny-then-allow solution involving dropping any and every packet that's not from the servers of the small handful of online games I play, any well-known wikis that cover the games I play, or any relevant modding sites. |

Lutris/Steam with Proton works wonderfully nowaday!
The main caveat is if you enjoy multiplayer gaming, it often require extensive low-level access to your Windows environment for anti-cheating purposes. Wintendo is the correct approach in that case; VFIO is an option, but afaik some anti-cheat systems will detect that they're running inside a VM.
Most security concerns go out of the window (pun not intended) when the most sensitive information your OS has access to is your Steam account, which has 2FA against a separate non-Windows device.
