I have been running Linux Ubuntu in Hyper-V, which is part of Windows Pro and above.

That way you don’t have to dual boot and can run Windows and Linux at the same time.

Three version of the Ubuntu Virtual Machine are included with Hyper-V, V18LTS, V20LTS and V22LTS.

Hyper-V is a Type 1 VM, meaning the guest operating systems run directly on the hardware and are as fast as if you were running dual boot. Type 2 VMs are software emulators, and are much slower.

Doing it this way bypasses the GRUB vulnerability.

We ran Ubuntu under WSL which is close to the same thing.
