     @purple idk. probably nothing that I wanna play. I'd just want to have a VM when using Steam. I don't wanna give it access to the medical data I store on Linux for work/uni

     @kaia might even be workable with Wine or Proton without VM

     @kaia@brotka.st totally understandable -- i took that approach at a previous job. however i do it the other way around: sensitive stuff goes in to the secured containers.
     
     containers themselves won't protect either the host or the guest, but they can make security easier to manage.

     Which games do you play that would require a VM?
     I personally have zero problems playing everything without one.
