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.

unsure how powerful your pc is. but i've heard you can achieve great performance on a vm using qemu. another option would be dual booting.
You can get really good performance in a VM if you can pass-through a GPU, which is a lot of tom-foolery or a second dedicated GPU since you can't have it passed through and working for your host OS at the same time. BUT, most anti-cheat is going to either block the game from running in a VM or just ban you outright for trying to "bypass" the anti-cheat.
All of this is even dumber when you realize EAC (which Epic makes) has Linux compatibility that other games use, but Epic specifically chooses to not allow in their games. I really think it is because they know it would only help the Steam Deck and Tim Sweeney really hates Valve.
thanks for suggestion, but think that get me banned because anticheat detects it.😢
