It's gotten better both with changes in Windows itself and with improvements in virtualization. VirtualBox allows you to use different hypervisors so you can get closer to native hardware access in a VM. It works best when the guest is Linux but it also works well with Windows and recently, macOS. You can even do GPU passthrough for better Windows gaming on a Linux host.

- morganvachon 9y ago> "With a separate, dedicated GPU" Well, yes, if you want to do any significant amount of gaming on a computer, you'd want a dedicated GPU. If integrated GPUs meet your demands for gaming, you're better of with native Linux games and Wine for Windows casual games. > "I've recently moved to Mint with Win7 in a vm and its lack of GPU and DirectX support is not really workable." It sounds like you're better served by dual-booting then. Running a VM isn't a solution for everyone, just another option for some.
