From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can absolutely run stuff on VM with approximately native performance and it's not even that difficult to set up. I meant that it's not easy to obscure fact of running inside a VM from programs such as anti-cheats, which seemed to be an original concern.
@halfapage Anti-cheats don't generally care if they're running in a vm as long as they can insert kernel drivers.
Maybe anti-cheat software does not care if it is running inside a VM, but online-multiplayer game developers do, and they will ban you for using a VM.
@PlasticPaperplane I've never been banned, but ok.
