Is not strictly necessary to install Windows first, it just makes it easier, because Linux will setup the bootloader for you. Windows in the others hand tends to nuke everything that was installed prior, so you would at least need to repair the bootloader. To be completely safe you can just disconnect the Linux drive, while Windows is installing. Definitely a path, if you want to go for Linux only for now.

VM is a good method once it is set up, but needs more initial tinkering with the passthrough, depending on your hardware. I don't know how those Kernel level anti cheat things work. Otherwise the game shouldn't even know it's in a vm.

    Not something that matters to me anyway. I don't own any such games currently, and don't intend to change that.

    But thanks for the tips re the bootloader!

    Btw, if you want someone that just works out of the box for games, have a look at bazzite. Steam and drivers installed right away. I run it happily for some time now.
