How autistic would I be if I ran Linux in a VM on Windows?
I guess muh freeedum respek would be at an all time low, but I'd still be able to get better performance. Is there really no benefit to this and if so do I just install Linux and run Windows in a VM when needed? (or just dual boot, which is more likely)

It's autistic to ask whether it's autistic
>>57892039
Not
>Parents bought Windows PC
>I install VirtualBox and supply LXLE VM
>Do all web surfing from Linux VM
>A little more secure than Windows
>When they eventually download malware I simply revert to snapshot and done.

You are completely retarded. Go see a doctor

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Wow, bless you for posting this.

Run loonix on metal and Windows on a VM.
If you want Windows for gaymen just use PCI-Passthrough.

What?
just run Windows 10, it has all the software
Linux is never gonna be provably better than Windows because the software library isn't there
Office, photoshop, games... you know, the shit you actually want your computer to do
Linux is good for people who like using operating systems
Windows is good for people who like using programs
