Linux let's you have low level control over your hardware, windows blocks that.

Running linux under windows offers nothing beyond familiarity of linux tools, which obviously are better suited to a linux environment.

If you prefer windows it has its own closed ecosystem, but at this point its really just preference x monopoly

Linux under Windows is in a separate container lol. You have no idea what you are talking about

A container with what permissions? Please prove me wrong and do a gpu pass through. Oh wait its a container so it still is CONTAINED within windows, and inherits its limitations.

Just run Linux with wine/VM if you really got such a windows hard on, wine van essentially be used as a windows container

You don't need a pass through. It's a container, not a vm!

Exactly, hence why gpu pass through is impossible. Due to a limitation on windows. Cause the install isnt nearly equivalent to a full linux install. Its almost like it has a reduced set of features
