What’s the problem here? That’s how I started with Linux.
Idk seems like gatekeeping to me. Why don’t they wipe their disk and install Arch like real sigma linux users?
Why stop there? Can you even call yourself computer literate if you can’t manually flip the bits in your RAM to perform basic tasks?

when you do it this way, it’s foss, when you do it the other way around, it’s piracy

And if you do it the correct way it’s WSL2.
the correct way is to install linux on bare metal and not use windows at all
The correct way to install Linux on Windows is to install it on bare metal? Looks like you failed the reading comprehension.
No, the correct way in general is to not install windows at all
Unless you need something that’s Windows-only. And dual-booting is the worst possible option.
Single gpu passthrough with qemu vm, ez.
qemu? Doesn’t that totally kill all performance? Also, unless you have massice performance margins, running two OSes at the same time will have a serious impact on performance, especially if Windows is the OS that needs the performance.
I don’t get it? I first experienced Linux on Virtual Box (back when it was by Sun Microsystems, somewhere in 2011)
This is a really good way of introducing people to desktop Linux, it’s miles better than telling them to run WSL /etc
I’m sorry but this is just… Toxic?

The repetitive summary alone deserves all the downvotes
It allows people to keep using windows. If they had no alternative, they would install Linux natively
If they had no alternative, they would stick with Windows.
What’s with the 19 👎️ in that pic? I guess people really do hate Oracle.
Probably stuck up Linux users mad that someone wants to virtualize a distro instead of just installing it bare metal.
Don’t even need virtual box. You can just install Linux directly on Windows using what they call “WSL” (Windows subsystem for Linux)
Eh, that’s still a decent gateway drug
Vmware? eww
