I kind of like having Linux on a VM in Windows. I only use Linux for things like web browsing or writing papers which a VM can do. For gaming, I prefer Windows to avoid any problems I might encounter (like anticheats).

This gives me a near-ideal set up with access to both Linux and Windows. I just wish my Linux VM can do 120+hz and GPU passthrough.

Did you consider dual booting?

[-] hitagi@ani.social 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah but I think Linux VM is more convenient for me as I don't have to switch back and forth between operating systems. I can have both operating systems in front of me at once.

I can keep the VM running while playing games with my friends on the Windows host.

You should consider the wsl hypervisor then

Virtualization under Windows is not great and is definitely not user friendly (Hyper-V)

I use vmware and it's an okay experience for me.
