From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My suggestion: Don't.
As far as I am aware a VM only makes sense for gaming if you have a second GPU. And even then it's a pain in the arse.
Use Proton/Wine instead. Steam has that integrated so that most games just work out of the box.
Be aware, most modern games won't run well or at all if you only have integrated graphics.
And most anti-cheates won't play nice with VMs, unless you're Nvidia.
VM detection that I've run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven't ran any tests to verify).
