I have a PC with an Intel i5 4460 processor, a GTX 750 graphics card, and 16GB of RAM, running on Garuda Linux. I usually play simpler games due to time constraints, but I'm looking to play Assassin's Creed Origins and Monster Hunter. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing poor performance in those titles compared to Windows. I'm wondering if there's a way to create a Windows virtual machine for better gaming performance, or if I absolutely need to dual boot to get the best experience.

There are definitely ways to optimize your gaming experience on Linux, like using Steam and the latest NVIDIA drivers. However, using a Windows VM might not yield great performance; it could actually be worse than gaming on Linux. Dual booting is often recommended for gaming because it gives you direct access to the hardware, which usually results in better performance. So, if you're serious about playing those games, dual booting might be the best route.
I was considering dual booting too, but I'm curious if there are any other alternatives. Has anyone tried open-source drivers for gaming?
