Here's some nerd shit right here:

Booted to Linux, using virsh/qemu/kvm to run a slightly customized (XML was edited to make it pretend to be a particular CPU) Win10 virtual machine that's able to run Hyper-V, so I'm running a VM inside a VM (yo dawg). Performance is actually acceptable.

This is a practice run; I've been thinking about doing this in anger on my new work PC. Base OS being Xubuntu 20.04, running one or two Win10 VMs for different tasks as-needed, and potentially MacOS in another VM. One of the Win10 VMs would be for making up new Windows install images, best handled with Hyper-V VMs because the workflow is actually really good.

I've wanted to do basically this for almost fifteen years now but the hardware and software available to me was just never there.
