Yes but ... Windows is not stripped Windows. The real Windows is a spyware hell installed by your laptop vendor. Barely usable.

    Good point. My laptop is dualbooting Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 22) and its faster to:
    start Linux, login, start quemu, start Windows VM in quemu, login in windows in the VM, shutdown windows in the VM gracefully, exit quemu, shutdown Linux gracefully
    than
    boot windows natively, login and wait till it is responsive enough to do anything with it.

    See, my Windows partition starts instantly. TBH its faster than linux, which takes an extra second to initialize SDDM, and then network connectivity.

    ...Perhaps because its so neutered. It's not really a fair comparison, as Windows is a narrow-focus OS for me, a tool for running things, to the point I don't trust it for anything security sensitive.
