>Spin up VMs via scripts for .. games

this is not sustainable. you do this once and then pray nothing breaks!



I just have a clone of a clean windows VM.

If something breaks or I get bored, nuke the active one and start clone, update it and make another backup, then reinstall games again.

On the other hand, gpu pass-through breaks once in a while and is annoying to fix.


so more like an OOBE snapshot?

would be annoying to initiate and wait for all the windows updates, drivers and game installations every time

also runs the risk of reusing the hwid (which e.g. Epic and Ubisoft are cottoning on to and permabanning)

gpu passthrough is a menstrual headache hence the set, forget, pray attitude
