fyi you can play fortnite in a single gpu passthrough win10 vm on linux if you configure your vm to hide the hypervisor status.

BattlEye still will detect virtualization. At least on intel.

maybe, i have amd.

for ref i used this: https://superuser.com/questions/1387935/hiding-virtual-machine-status-from-guest-operating-system

but i can't seem to find any posts saying hiding vm doesn't work with intel and multiple posts about hiding vm status with intel specific instructions on a quick ddg search so you might want to try again.
