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.
Stuff needs to be worth the effort. Most people run an OS to get specific tasks done, not the other way round. Sure, you can spend days getting something to work. Or you just don’t.
And if you do it the correct way it’s WSL2.
the correct way is to install linux on bare metal and not use windows at all

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.
then you put it in box and make passthrough work

i’m not running windows on bare metal on principle
I don’t usually downvote on Lemmy, but this is a real test of willpower.
