The correct way to install Linux on Windows is to install it on bare metal? Looks like you failed the reading comprehension.
No, the correct way in general is to not install windows at all
Unless you need something that's Windows-only. And dual-booting is the worst possible option.
Single gpu passthrough with qemu vm, ez.
qemu? Doesn't that totally kill all performance? Also, unless you have massice performance margins, running two OSes at the same time will have a serious impact on performance, especially if Windows is the OS that needs the performance.
Have you tried KDE? Also, regardless of whether the Linux distro is light or not, you still run an additional OS next to it.
And even hardware-accelerated virtualisation is not without performance penalty.
Ok, now have you tried doing anything on the Win10 guest that actually requires performance?
E.g. playing games
Stuff needs to be worth the effort. Most people run an OS to get specific tasks done, not the other way round. Sure, you can spend days getting something to work. Or you just don't.
