From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Benefit of Ventoy/Vhd for Windows vs Dualbooting? or VM (is.hardlywork.ing)

What are the differences between the implementations? Does booting from a vhd using ventoy (external ssd not usb) let me avoid losing a partition to windows?

I'd virtualize windows. For me, it's way more important to have a good host

Can't say I agree.

*nix virtualizes way better than Windows. You'll get better overall performance by virtualizing *nix and using Windows on bare metal.

Why do you say that? I've run plenty of both and haven't really had trouble with one or the other.
