    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 (1 children)

    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
