I'm currently daily driving a Win10 shell on Win11 and am a data science major with minor red hat experience. I finally had some time to pick up a Linux distro and have really enjoyed Chris Titus's videos. Because I enjoy fine-tuned customization, I am planning on installing Arch with a tiling window manager like Hyprland. I currently have an AMD RX 6800XT and a Ryzen 9 5900X. Looking at how Chris has set up Hyprland, he uses some incredibly expensive hardware.
Does anyone have recommendations for - dual booting Windows with Arch OR using a VM with GPU passthrough? I am under the impression that I would need an additional GPU for passthrough (which is probably fine). I can't tell if I can use my current Windows license for the VM if I took that path. I would probably just run Arch if Oldschool Runescape and League of Legends were compatible. If I did get a new GPU would it matter what I bought? Is there any benefit to dual booting instead?

If you care about maximum resource (want a full window experience), just do dual-boot instead.
If you decide to setup VM up, here is a bit fact you might want to know:
QEMU + libvirt can be abit hard to use on first time. But once you know most stuff, create new one or restore snapshot will become easier.
Use GPU Passthrough Manager to load VFIO driver for your passthrough GPU. This will help you alot since you don't need to use terminal to setup it properly.
Most anticheats tent to hate VM and some will ban you away. You can avoid this by patching QEMU and VM info stuff. There is a exception to this, Riot Anticheat (used for LoL and Valorant) is very intrusive on detecting VM, so if you really want to play Riot game, maybe try dual-boot instead. Or you can try your luck and hope LoL can launch on VM and not banned you right on start.
