Hi, your setup includes an Intel NUC8i5BEK with NVMe and 16GB RAM. You're looking to run Linux as your primary OS while using Windows and MacOS as virtual machines. Which Linux distribution offers the best performance for this setup? You'd prefer a single system with two virtual machines instead of three booted systems.

Everyone focuses on similar things. The distribution doesn't really change VM performance, just lets you pick your preferred OS. I plan to install Virt Manage with KVM and then launch the virtual machines inside it.

The operating system isn't crucial for virtual machines. I suggest Manjaro since it offers the latest packages and is quite user-friendly.
