Eh, most multiplayer FPS games (CS2, Apex, Helldivers 2) run great on linux. Valorant, COD, Fortnite, R6 don't.
In this case, I just make a partition, install windows10 there, no updates, no bullshit, download a game and play with friends. It's a rather simple life. I use office on that instance too.
a while ago i started playing league of legends with my friends, but i don't like very much the idea of vanguard on my personal computer, so i just let it go
It gives enough access that if someone found a backdoor they could maybe write a virus to your bios. This is rare and a lot (probably all modern ones) of mobos will block this. Although the way they do it is also hackable, MSI had some security keys stolen which might make this possible for older bios versions.Typically the purpose of this is to reinfect your drove after you wipe it, but it could be used to infect other partitions/disks in the system.
Again this probably isn't possible on your computer. But vanguard has access to absolutely everything including any random chips that can have firmware on them which the OS can flash, and those are shared between partitions obviously. So the answer to your question is no probably not, but it's probably technically possible on some machines. But an attacker would need to find a vulnerability in vanguard first.
Can it harm you? No, probably not. But it's still a direct backdoor to someone. And honestly? I'd rather not risk that. Companies can not be trusted with any of our data, unfortunately.

Yeah the hardware usage seems accurate xD
For me its the multiplayer games, i hope there is a time where i can live without them.
