    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.
