From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is absolutely no problem with virtualbox and a win10 vm. I tried wine as well but no luck. You just need to pass the usb port to the vm and youre good. I had to reboot the apple device though so it would connect correctly.
To be fully honest, running windows on the device should not be much more demanding than running windows baremetal. Because running a win10 vm means running the os in factory new condition and not having any additional autostarts etc. Only reason against that in my book would be a missing virtualization extension.
The thing is, first time I tried using a VM my whole system lagged and froze.
That sounds like a missing virtualization extension of your cpu. Can you share your pc stats? Cpu model, ram, gpu?
I think you're on to something. I have a 10 year old laptop with linux, 4 cores, 8gb of ram, a mechanical drive, and a win10 vm on it and it runs fine for it's purpose.
