Hello,
long time windows user here, i m looking to move to Linux environment, as a developer, i use visual studio 2022 strictly for winforms/wpf/uwp, and thats it, while mobile/web development using vscode and android studio, i m thinking about moving my work to win10/11 on vm/kvm or whatever is the technology with GPU passthrough; which is a must, my CPU and GPU are fairly old by todays standards, still, no complaints about the specs.
my question is which software offers the best/closest bare-metal experience, and if GPU Passthrough is available or not.
I am doing exactly that - using VS2022 for backend API code using .NET no WinForms/WPF etc.
No GPU passthrough - VirtualBox VM with Win10-ltsc - GPU passthrough not necessary.
But my system is not old by any standard

qemu / kvm will fit best

thats one reason i m still on windows, vs 2022, otherwise i have no need for the “various” services offered by Microsoft, the GPU passthrough, or… whatever is a must, i would not want to have a “remote desktop” experience, customer support is more than enough.
thanks for the quick reply
i tried the SPICE option, not the best, hyper-v/vmbox and vmpalyer offered better experience, not sure what i did wrong, the lag was real.
check all his tutorials

I don’t want to be the one putting out the lights but please take a moment to do this [Consideration] Is Manjaro the right distribution for you?

true, true, i missed that point, i use some ubuntu and debian wsl, the pacman and flatpak did not provide some essential programs, or i did not know what to do. might try it inside a vbox/vm first. thanks for the replies
