I've been curious about this for a while. Since ASUS attempted dual-boot convertibles that transition between Windows and Android without restarting, it's become even more puzzling for me. Do you think similar functionality exists on regular desktops? Having the ability to switch instantly between Ubuntu and Windows would be amazing for me. Thanks!

No, it requires a hypervisor to proceed.

Yes, a hypervisor enables both systems to utilize hardware efficiently without restrictions.

A hypervisor acts as the bridge between a virtual machine and the underlying operating system, managing hardware resources. It's not something like Oracle VirtualBox, Microsoft Hyper-V or Linux QEMU—those are common examples.

Not familiar with anything you can run as a regular desktop.

VMware vsphere can affect performance, but it doesn't always cause major issues.

It's simpler to switch between operating systems, though that would be great

It's relatively small in size, but you can't simply start the VM on the PC where vSphere is installed. You require an additional machine to access it.

Really disappointing. It's strange that no one considered people might be interested in this, I'm sure many would care. Alright, thanks for your thoughts!
