... You know that you can run VMs, or full-OS containers on a Linux desktop right?

Or on a macOS Desktop. Bonus: doing so on either platform doesn't also mean your host OS is running under a hypervisor, as it does with WSL2.

Bigger bonus: you don't have to run fucking Windows.

Why do you think, technologically, this is some form of "bonus"?


Because it broke/put restrictions on the ability to run other hypervisors as the user.


Windows by default runs on a hypervisor since some Windows 11 version.


That just sounds like another reason not to use Windows at all honestly.
