It's more complex than that. They have to be very specific GPU/CPU/motherboard setup on account of the need for support of PCI Passthrough (IOMMU on AMD devices and VT-d on Intel devices.) I've looked into it heavily in my attempts to get off of my dual boot system but even with everything I know about it, the only surefire bet of having the correct hardware is an Intel Core i7 (not an overclock model) or an AMD FX series CPU plus an NVIDIA Quadro GPU, because it's the only one officially supported for VMs.

Unfortunately in Japan likes to pretend that Linux doesn't exist because they care more about what their own numbers look like (Linux's user-base in Japan is a much much smaller than the 1.6 million global steam users.)
