    Not exactly the setup here, but I did something similar with my laptop + single monitor setup (KVM/VFIO)

    1. Yes you’ll have to do that for 3 monitors in your case.

    2. I did this just fine, had a btrfs partition just for games. Then used WinBtrfs drivers on Windows to access that. As mentioned here already, its better to install in Windows then force proton if you’re doing this

    3. You will have to set up LookingGlass for this, otherwise they will just act like seperate machines when input devices are passed. LookingGlass was a MUST for me, playing through Spice had way too much delay.

    4. If you pass your audio device through then you can’t use it on the host. You can pass audio from your Windows back to the host via Pipewire, JACK, PulseAudio take a look at the Arch Wiki page on PCI Passthrough via OVMF. Not 100% sure about mics.

    Like others here have said, its probably better to just dual boot. I’ve come to accept that too because often times anticheats will detect KVM setups and playing the cat and mouse game to hide VM info is just too annoying for me. But these days to be honest, I rarely touch the Windows VM since support for the games I play have gotten quite good. Best of luck on this!
