I’m going straight to the point - I’d choose Lutris. From start to finish, everything works seamlessly in Lutris. Why bother with Windows?"
What you see is the preinstallers, if you have an account with MS or CD it al works in one interface.

I don’t do that much gaming, but I thought we were going down the rabbit hole of “I won’t run unless your TPM chip is registered with MS” (i.e., Wine soon won’t be the “workaround” for PC gaming that it has been in the past).

May be my graphics card, but the stop/start/pause buttons are hidden from view in the GUI, and certain VMs won’t stop unless you bring them down hard (“Force Shutdown”).
I tried running W11 with the CPU/TPM/SecureBoot bypass on, but it refused to install updates after a while. We’ll see if the same is true in VM-land.

I find that ‘poweroff’ at the cli will bring most VM’s to a graceful stop.

I used VMware before the Broadcom acquisition and still have access to it, wasn’t sued by them. It’s a pretty great piece of software, and even though I’m behind with updates (no BC account), I use it daily.

I’ve used it (VMware Workstation) in the past too - on Linux - mostly just to virtualize MacOS on Intel… did a better job than VirtualBox and a sh!tload easier than going the Hackintosh route…
And I use VMware (ESX, vCenter, vSphere) ALL the time in my job… I’ve not seen any sign of my customers jumping ship for something else - although one is gradually migrating what they can to AWS…

Yes virt-manager is FOSS. Its developer was Redhat(IBM). One of their best contributions.
