I use the internal video on my i7 for Linux, and an added GTX card for
Windows. I also have a KVM switch. All in all this was decidedly
cheaper than buying an additional PC. I don't run this way all the
time, just when I feel like some Windows-native gaming, but
increasingly I find that Proton (Steam's version of Wine) works very
well for quite a wide selection of games, and both Stadia and Xbox
streaming work directly on Linux with good results (as does Nvidia's
streaming solution), so I'm doing it less as time goes on.
