Dealing with games that just won't run on Linux (self.linux_gaming)

How are people coping with games that just won't run on Linux (aside from leaving them behind)? Do you dual boot Windows? Virtualize? What's your strategy for this?

This will be extremely rare for me since I don't play a lot of competitive stuff, but I'd love to find a solution. I have a large library, and it's bound to happen from time to time.

I have a Windows dual boot for the (nowadays rather rare) cases where a game won't run in Linux.

Interestingly, I spent a while trying to get League of Legends working with their new rootkit requirements... But my Windows-using friends weren't comfortable playing the game any more.
