qemu? Doesn't that totally kill all performance? Also, unless you have massice performance margins, running two OSes at the same time will have a serious impact on performance, especially if Windows is the OS that needs the performance.

not if host is any normal linux distro (much lighter than windows)

Have you tried KDE? Also, regardless of whether the Linux distro is light or not, you still run an additional OS next to it.

And even hardware-accelerated virtualisation is not without performance penalty.

no. rn i'm running debian host with mint guest and win10 guest. on host htop load average is below 2, the bigger issue is ram, at about 16gb used. as it happens, ram is much more easily expanded even on laptops than any other potential bottleneck causing hardware. i've never been short of performance with this setup, even when using old laptop with 12 gb ram and four cores

Ok, now have you tried doing anything on the Win10 guest that actually requires performance?

E.g. playing games
