If you’ve got multiple operating systems on one system, that’s dual booting! You can also partition a drive to have multiple os’s, but that can have slightly more difficulties.

From last time I tried virtualisation, I needed to assign my graphics card to either the host or the virtual machine, and switching was a hassle. Unless things have changed, I decided booting into windows when absolutely required (anticheat) was the best option - avoiding some of the hassle that comes with virtualisation. If you’ve got multiple GPUs, that might be an option.

I think OP is talking about having an application e.g. steam launch on startup, which can be set in Task Manager.

Performance for virtual machines is honestly not as bad as you’d expect, provided it has reasonable resources allocated and the host isn’t being overworked. A GPU passed through will be much more enjoyable than a software/virtual GPU. You can expect 90%+ (perhaps up to 98% or so) of the performance of bare metal.


Reminds me of sosumi, a Linux util for one-click MacOS virtual machines. Sosumi also happens to be the name of the alert/error sound in early MacOS.


I recall paying for an iPhoneOS update, Looks like it was iPhoneOS 2 or 3 from the first paragraph. I can’t speak for anything else in the article, however.
