Agreed. It sits almost entirely vanilla in a high-performance virtual machine on my home PC. Constraining it to virtual disks and vCPUs, and using qcow2 snapshots in case I need to rollback, is amazing. I have one VM for my music production, and one for gaming. And another for miscellaneous tasks. The boot disks all branch off of one disk, so they don't unnecessarily repeat data.
Same goes for my work computer. Only Linux is allowed to touch my hardware directly, whenever. If I need to test something in a Windows environment, I pop a VM open.
It's actually amazing how great VMs have gotten lately. Even on my work PC's modest hardware (i5 10400, 12 GB RAM, GT 710), I can pass the GT 710 through for native graphics performance, and the VM feels like it's running on hardware.
Remember, when using Windows, always wear protection!
