Every time Windows updates itself, my Linux disappears. Actually, it's just hidden, only the boot menu was overwritten. You need a computer maintenance technician to make a new boot menu. I use a USB stick with a live Linux with automatic boot repair tools.
Recently, Windows has become resistant to Boot Repair Disk. Now I have to open computer firmware by tapping "Esc" right after power-up, then select "Boot options", then "Linux".
EU must ban all US-made smart products for its own safety. All closed-source software and electronics that can be used for strategic manipulation and sabotage -- Google, Apple, Amazon, all of it.
We have functional, clunky open-source software that could easily be fitted for any purpose with the money we waste propping up foreign monopolies sabotaging us. Europe has taken a huge risk. I suspect bribery.
If you aren't gaming, you don't care about performance past giving CPU/RAM enough resources to VM.
If you are multiplayer gaming and unwilling to give it up or be very tech savvy, VM isn't an option.

If you single player game, you just need pcie passthrough to your VM.
Those resources are the concern. Yes, a VM works fine, but works better than native windows? That's where my question is.
Also, I care a lot about performance if I'm running my system on a potato.
Expect at least a 20% performance hit with a hypervisor compared to bare metal
