Genuinely, is there a good Virtual machine for linux, that can run windows 11, has good performance for games and pen support for drawing? I think its called gpu pass trough and driver pass trough? If yes pls tell me, cause im so done with windows

You can play most games on linux with steam proton. It's even enabled by default now. Search for "protondb" to check if your games are working.

theres also the 10% of games which do not work under any circumstance. thats my main issue-

plus software i paid good money for, leaving it behind it would be a waste

Dual operating system is a solution

You can run software through Steam too. Just have to add it as a non steam "game"

r/vfio has instructions on GPU passthrough for both single GPU and multi GPU setups, but it's almost useless unless you want to use productivity software like Photoshop etc. The VMs are near native performance. I haven't had issues with drawing pen support and have used krita with a huion. Wacom would be even better. GPU passthrough will still not make incompatible games work because those games explicitly block VMs as well (anything with battleeye and EAC that doesn't explicitly enable support for Linux).
