I did that. It's going great, the only time I've needed windows was for VR and playing The Finals when the anticheat wasn't compatible with proton.

If your daily workflow only involves launching a web browser, or gaming, I heavily suggest switch thing to linux. It's really not that bad.

How do you do fellow finals player.

How is performance in a VM?

Also, I assume this wouldn’t work with games like valorant ‘s anticheat?

Easyanticheat is Linux compatible provided the developers have chosen to enable it. Embark has done so like a month after 1.0.

I don't expect VM performance would be too bad provided I went with the appropriate options, but thankfully I do not need to do that.

Performance can be excellent, with CPU pinning and a GPU passed through it's nearly native

Valorant is the one anti cheat I gave up on tricking. The rest like ESEA could be fooled by hiding the hyper-v extensions and so on with KVM
