I have a windows 11 VM under proxmox for gaming

- I bought windows 11 retail on a USB stick. (before the AI nonsense, etc)

- I run windows in a VM without a network interface. This eliminates SO MANY PROBLEMS. microsoft being problem #1

- I disabled all nonsense, windows defender was slightly harder

- I share a drive with linux (only one booted at once)

- linux runs lgogodownloader to load all my gog games onto the shared drive

- I install the games under windows from the shared drive

- someday I might change shared drive to virtiofs

- gpu passthrough

- I pass through an entire USB controller for audio, and plug in a USB schiit dac + headphones. passing the controller is key for glitchless audio

- some day maybe I'll figure out a steam VM. like maybe connect stuff once, download game for offline play, then take it off the network forever. Maybe have VMs for collections of games.
