My basement computer (the one I am using right now) is Linux Mint 22.1.
That's where I am headed from Windows 10 Pro and the occasional use of Linux Mint on a 2nd PC. I have too many applications to completely jettison Windows, so I am in the process of moving to Windows 11 Pro (new hardware).
But I have decided for most of my Internet activity (online accounts, email, downloads, some browsing) that I will use the Linux PC for that. Dual booting won't work for me. I flip back and forth between browser(s) and applications too often to make that work.
Microsoft Hyper-V is a Type 1 virtual machine, meaning it runs on the hardware and not from an emulator, so it is theoretically as fast running Linux as running standalone.
That is the best of both worlds, but I haven’t been able to get it to work.
