Yeah, dual booting for gaming is a pain. That's why I do most of my gaming in a Windows 10 VM these days. I pass through a GPU and use looking glass for I/O and it's great! I just have Windows living on one of my virtual desktops and can instantly switch between games and host applications.

The only thing holding me back from doing that is that anti-cheat and (iirc) also nvidia not playing nicely when used in VMs..

I suppose I am fortunate that I don't have any desire to play things like online shooters. I can report that it runs FFXIV perfectly through.

I'm not sure I'd describe the process as "sane", but I basically did as described in this guide[0], followed by following the setup guide for Looking Glass[1].
