I think the VM support is better on Windows 11. I tested gaming on both 10 and 11 on my Linux install and 11 performed better. Otherwise, agreed 11 is a downgrade
For linux clients maybe, but definitely not for windows clients. Microsoft practically killed Virtualbox, so we have to use Hyper-V at work now. And unlike virtualbox, it doesn't let me install my keyboard layout in the VM via MSKLC, which is literally made by microsoft. I had to convert my virtualbox VM where it was installed already and guess what, it works perfectly now.
I also have to disable the keyboard manager in powertoys, another microsoft product, whenever I use the VM because capslock gets stuck on inside the VM if I don't. That also happens on VMs without my keyboard layout, so it's a separate issue.
The VM also feels much slower and glitchier than the virtualbox one I used on an older computer.
I'm actually running Windows 11 on QEMU and passing my GPU through to it. Runs VR games perfectly
I haven't tried VMs via hyper v but WSL and sandbox seems to work a bit better. I don't know if it's quantifiablely better but it feels like runs better.
Ah. Maybe that's the case. I meant I'm running Windows 11 on Linux using QEMU for gaming.
