I'm the opposite, I need these desktop hypervisors because Hyper-V is trash for anything but a WSL shell or server VM.

I upgraded to Windows 11 for WSLg (figuring it would replace my Linux desktop), and it was buggy trash. You can't even get a high-resolution Ubuntu desktop (from Microsoft themselves, their own quickbox!) without jumping through hoops, searching all over reddit for knowledge obsoleted by the next update, tweaking arcane settings and running misc Powershell scripts. To say nothing of the occasional freezes.

By enabling WSL2/WSLg, your Windows host is now a privileged guest running under Hyper-V as a hypervisor. Which means lightweight desktop hypervisors like Virtualbox run like trash.

I ended up removing WSLg/turning Hyper-V off, using Virtualbox for desktop Linux, and using WSL1 (not 2) to have a quick Linux shell without enabling Hyper-V.

I'm now considering Workstation due to the superior graphics in the guest over Virtualbox.

If you are running Windows 10 with secure kernel, driver guard, among others, this features require Hyper-V.

Secondly Windows 11 doubles even more on having Hyper-V running for even more security capabilities.

I also think the future is type 1 hypervisors, and in regards to performance, my computers are beefy enough to hardly notice any major impact.

As for Linux configuration problems, business as usual, there is always something that needs hand holding, and I have been using distributions since Slackware 2.0 in 1995's Summer.

I also mostly used Virtualbox only when not allowed to use VMWare products, due to cheap project delivery conditions.
