I write PHP on the daily and don't understand the hate it gets :/
At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#

No easy way to set it up I'm afraid.
But if you're interested,
I posted all the bookmarks I made, with tutorials and tools, when I set mine up here:

It does run Photoshop smoothly on my setup :)
Back when I did my setup,
there wasn't a clear guide on the matter though, and it was rather hard to setup.
If you're interested, I can link you all my bookmarks on the matter which I made back then though, however none of them were for Fedora / Nvidia specific.
For the pass-through mode,
I use VFIO (Virtual Function Input Output) with kernel / grub configurations, to always dedicate one of my 2 GPUs for the KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine).
You'd be looking for hot-plugging/hot-swapping your GPU instead, to un-attach your GPU from Linux and re-attach it to your Windows KVM when it boots.
Back when I was setting up my system, this was not possible on AMD yet due to a bug (Can't vouch for Nvidia or if the AMD bug is fixed by now though)
For me it works very well,
see my comment here:

However I don't play anything with kernel based anti-cheat, so can't vouch for that
Root on Android is a necessity for me.
I've been rooting all droids I use for the past 10 years or so.
Imagine using Linux as a power user,
without being able to use sudo/su.
Also, Magisk does not just allow any application to access root, you have to manually allow apps to make use of it.
Just like administrator rights on any other OS,
things only go wrong if you don't know what you're doing, and then grant rights to something malicious.
Gotta admit, it was very hard to setup initially.
However it's been working perfectly ever since I did.
Been using it for about a year or 2 now.
Also when I linked the Arch wiki,
I noticed in it's article that there's now a gpu-passthrough-manager,
which will likely make the process of setting up a little bit easier.
Yush, it does under the KVM :)
Amazing, basically native speeds,
currently playing Horizon Forbidden West with maxed out graphics and DRS disabled at a steady 60-80 FPS.
Previously I also played Horizon Zero Dawn in it, also maxed out graphics, steady locked 100 FPS,
below is a benchmark comparison of HZD in the Linux host OS and the Windows KVM guest OS:
I run linux-xanmod-anbox for root support in Waydroid (Android on Linux).
And I configured my kernel to support VFIO (Virtual Function Input Output).
So I can fully pass through one of my GPUs to my Ameliorated Windows KVM,
which I use for both work and gaming.
Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.
For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.
