You don't generally need a fullblown VM for gaming and you'll take a decent performance hit compared to using Proton in Steam. Pretty sure you can run Proton independently of running Steam. An API compatibility tool running natively is going to outperform emulated hardware every time. > So how's the support for these GPUs? > Decent these days, arguably better than Windows; certainly less hassle. Some people find the proprietary drivers work better than the open ones, and others the opposite and there's not really a pattern to nail down anymore. It'll work on the open drivers out of the box. Going to the proprietary drivers isn't hard, but whether or not you get any additional functionality or positive change in performance is really only able to be evaluated on a case by case basis these days. The proprietary drivers don't necessarily support features the open drivers don't anymore, and sometimes you take a performance hit for using the proprietary driver.
