Ironically, as a Linux user, I have a special Windows VM setup that borrows a GPU from my host and so can run games just fine, but with regards to anticheat-protected games (a major reason it exists in the first place), it sees far more use testing games for other people than playing games I actually like. Most of which don't work, incidentally, as anticheat that blocks Proton tends to also be pretty bad about VMs as well.

~~Whether this changes with the revelation that Destiny 2 knows when it's being run in a VM and does not give a shit, we'll see.~~
