Yeah, that's really the most straightforward solution unfortunately.
In case you're not already familiar look into sunshine/moonlight for quick access to the windows machine
If you need to use abusive windows software while retaining some privacy you really have 2 options:
Have a separate PC with windows and your games installed. Isolate your activities so all your normal work and personal stuff is on linux, and then you switch input on your display, or use sunshine/moonlight to access windows when you want to.
Use linux and do all your gaming etc. in a windows VM. This is what I do but it is not easy to set up, if you're interested in this idea keep it in mind and come back to it later.
If you're using VM hostile software though which it sounds like you are, #2 becomes even more complicated so I say bite the bullet and do #1.
Dualboot is pretty ass and breaks all the time. I strongly suspect that was part of your issue
I am baffled to read you had to troubleshoot your linux installation every day, what kind of distro were you using?
Sorry you didn't have a good time.
If you know what you're doing yes (not guaranteed to work in all games), but you're always at constant threat of being potentially banned.
The info is hard to find but I assure you tons of people play anticheat games in VMs all the time. I personally avoid those games so I don't know the specifics of all the tricks they do to hide the VM.
Being it's a VM I could see some people just restoring from a template if they get banned and not really caring. No way to be hardware banned afaik.
This VM detection and VM anti detection is a reguarly evolving arms race, and some games invest a LOT more effort into staying on top of it than others.
Huh? You mean manifest v3?
Since you asked
It's a proprietary closed source flavor of chrome which supports google's monopoly and does not respect your privacy or freedom.

If you don't like that I'd suggest looking at librewolf (firefox/gecko based) or ungoogled chromium (chromium based)
Simplex is an option, you can host your own servers and it has crossplatform GUI + CLI
I think it's pretty cool, and it's pretty easy to set up (there are a lot of options you may wanna look at though)
The category is people who annoy you
How does this work with for example the Titan-M in pixels with graphene?
I believe newer iphones have something similar (?)
He's referring to cellebrite but others exist. It's 100% real.
look it up on youtube if you want
look into celebrite
I think there's videos on youtube.
they can plug in most phones and have access to everything through an easy gui
Yeah my steam input configs are crazy
I have a whole system for desktop navigation which I've grown to really like
I've recently taken to using touchpad touch as a button chord modifier and it is soo nice.
