Hard mode: pass through your GPU to a virtual machine running Windows or Linux+Proton. This is the strongest isolation aside from dual boot or using a second device. There are a lot of tutorials online but the archlinux wiki is a good place to start. This usually means you need a second GPU for your main system (an iGPU works if your CPU has it), or you can use janky scripts to switch the GPU between your main system and the VM. You also might need a KVM switch to switch your monitor and keyboard between your main system and the VM.

Alternatively, if you have two PCs you can set up one for game streaming using Sunshine, and stream games to your primary PC. Benefit of this approach is you can also stream to your tablet or android TV.

That is an interesting idea, I was about to buy a GPU for AI, right now I have one whose primary feature is not using a lot od energy. Am I going to need a dedicated monitor for games if I set it up this way?
