I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in Linux. Be (mostly) free from Microsoft’s clammy hands.
Very old comment and I’m sure you don’t care any longer, but yes. Any VM inherently includes performance loss if you’re aiming for “peak performance” but it can often be negligible when done properly.
