Anyone else here KVM/virtualize their setup?

I'm probably pandering to an extremely niche audience here but I'm genuinely curious to see if anyone else here runs Linux as their main OS with Windows/Other in KVM?
If so, have you had any issues playing stuff like MC? Could never get more than 30/40fps max with passthrough :v

(ELI5 for anyone who doesn't know: KVM is a virtual machine interface that runs at the kernel level - basically a hypervisor giving you almost native levels of performance)

Honestly, I'm considering it but I have no clue how VMs work and don't want to accidentally break anything lmao.

There are plenty of step-by-step guides online which if you follow shouldn't mess anything up. From what i've heard the scene is much better than it was a couple years back so your chances of success first-time are extremely high. You also might learn quite a bit along the way so there's no hurt in giving it a shot if your hardware is good enough :p
