Imvho opinion windows is preferably run inside a virtual machine. Win11 runs very well virtualized, and does not break anything outside. Files can be shared among guest and host. VMWare manages this really smoothly (with aggressive caching and delayed committing to the network-disk).

Virtual box was when I switched to it from VMware a better UI and screen driver,

For a long time I have been using VirtualBox, but lately it failed to load old saved images in its own format for unknown reason, and that sparked the reason to give a try to VMWare. Its free version is simple and does not seem to manage snapshotting, but I make manual backups.

If you are a 'lnuix ' person who needs windows occasionally, VB or VMware is the way to go,

yes, very rarely. I just use windows to run a KZUR scanner software, whose linux version is buggy and does not even detect the scanner itself (which is very slowly managed directly under linux, with generic video source programs)

If you need raw winders fer gaming, buy a separate machine for the job!

no, never been a gamer
