Secondary dedicated PC for any gaming

I have been thinking about it for a while, but when I read of security gaps like the following, it only makes me more sure that gaming should be done on a dedicated PC

Having considered streaming vs KVM, probably going to go with hardware KVM.
Albeit it will have to wait, only a plan for now.

The good news is, Valve is gonna patch this super fucking quickly, so by the time someone actually makes malware to exploit this, it'll already be fixed. Truth is, you should have as few programs running in the background as possible to prevent exploits like this as much as possible.
