They're doing it the wrong way round, VBox was actual garbage on Windows the last time I tried it. On Linux it just works and on Windows I considered myself lucky whenever something worked.

Yes, Linux (maybe it's just an Ubuntu problem) does not run well in Virtual box. I could get it to boot 1/10 times and was quite unstable. But that was two years ago, maybe things have changed

Interesting. Linux runs fine in Linux (in a virtual box, or other similar visualising mechanism). I realise I've never tried VirtualBox in Windows.

VirtualBox+HyperV runs Linux horribly - the "this shit is unbootable" kind of horribly.

If you disable HyperV and use VirtualBox's default hypervisor, it at least boots and you can interact with the desktop environment. But it's still slow.
