it’s just a meme … with a kernel of truth.
when running as your main OS windows very quickly gets bogged down with everything you want to run on it.
in a VM you’re only running the 1 thing you need on a fresh install, potentially a screenshot of that fresh install so it’s always running at peak.
does this make up for the host overhead? maybe … Linux has never struggled under base load for me like windows has.
The most successful people don’t have goals they have constraints.
Here’s a really good one, don’t start another project until you’ve finished the last one UNLESS it directly relates to it. in this way even without a clear goal you are always building towards something and with a narrower field you’re more likely to accidentally finish something as different projects converge.
