I saw from a post that you can basically host your own mini windows inside of linux to play games with, and you can choose what to share with that little windows so microsoft can’t track you in any way. Does anyone have a tutorual/guide for that? Also what Distro would be best for it?
What you’re probably referring to is running a virtual machine with VFIO passthrough. I hate to be that guy, but this is one of those “if you have to ask for help, you probably shouldn’t do it” kind of situations. It’s complicated and easy to mess up, requires a decent amount of knowledge of both Linux and Windows, and every situation is unique. There’s no cookie-cutter way to set it all up.
But if you’re willing to buckle down and learn anyways, the best way would be to do it from scratch. This is the best documentation I’m aware of on the subject, but it’s tailored heavily for Arch Linux, a rather advanced distro to use.

This article is enough to teach you basically anything you could need. As long as you can follow instructions properly, that’s it
alright, thanks. After I’ve read other comments I’ll pass on it because it seems I need an extra GPU anyways.
Not necessarily, if your processor has an igpu which many do you can use that for Linux and the discrete GPU for the VM
though like others have said if you don’t know about this technology already it’s not going to be an easy plug and play job
