if you’d like I can dig up the tutorials I used to set up the gaming VM I use — it’s very durable (under NixOS) with maybe one breakage in the ~3 years I’ve been using it, it uses a dedicated graphics card so performance is excellent, and there’s a number of ways to attach input devices and audio so that latency isn’t an issue
The problem tends to be more that the games I want to play aren’t particularly playable under Proton to begin with; Assetto Corsa’s listed as Silver under ProtonDB. That and I’ve got to use third-party drivers for my Logitech wheel to get working force feedback, which I can do, but it’s a faff I’d rather do without.
That said, I’ll be looking to build a new PC soon when the newly-announced AMD cards come out, so I’ll probably look more into getting things working properly then.
