[TUTORIAL] Windows 11 VM for gaming setup guide

I just encountered the first real problem: Riot Vanguard does not work. The service simply won't start without much feedback.
Perhaps it has something to do with it not being able to edit the Secure Boot? I'd be glad to hear if anyone has overcome this.

I haven't objectively measured it, but it's negligible for me. Noticeable, maybe, but not problematic. I also have a lot of VMs and containers running in the background.
The only thing I have to figure out is how to get rid of weird freezes and stutters. They weren't there when I first set it up (system was practically as responsive as bare metal), but with the heavier load (or maybe Windows shenanigans) there are some small issues.
How do you connect to the VM? Via RDP Session over Network? To test it, I ran a YouTube video in an RDP session and when I moved the slider for the timeline under the video, I got a noticeable delay. I also have a delay in my 3D CAD application and I think that would also be the case in games.
Excellent tutorial!
In case you have two GPUs sharing the same driver, one for host and one for VM, by blacklisting the driver the host GPU will not work either, the "driverctl" tool can be used to override the GPU driver to vfio-pci.
