It is highly hardware and game dependent. I can run any game that came before 2019 on my 1060 on both with similar performance. Anything that came after that is hit or miss. For example, Until Dawn remake does not launch on linux but runs smooth (barring some menu hangs) on Windows 10.
Win 10 IoT LTSC 2021 is supported until 2032. the ESU is literally just security updates they will be doing anyway.
if you have any windows software that can’t be replaced and needs to be online running IoT is one solution.
protip: Windows runs faster under a VM in Linux than on bare metal. True facts.
No, it doesn’t. Any VM is going to be slower than bare metal due to the host OS overhead and restrictions in some hardware access.
FWIW, while it’s not a VM, games for Windows do tend to have higher performance in Proton on Linux than they do in Windows 11.

it’s just a meme … with a kernel of truth.
when running as your main OS windows very quickly gets bogged down with everything you want to run on it.
in a VM you’re only running the 1 thing you need on a fresh install, potentially a screenshot of that fresh install so it’s always running at peak.
does this make up for the host overhead? maybe … Linux has never struggled under base load for me like windows has.
Well this is a big difference lol
Protip: Don’t try to play multiplayer games in a VM.
Tap for spoiler
Don’t
