Agreed. I currently have an Ubuntu guest VM on a Windows host and use both simultaneously for day-to-day work.

I do the same thing! Even now, WiFi has poor support on Linux with many computers, especially newer business tablets, so VMs or remote desktops are the only options. This will mean I can get full performance.

Yep, running a Surface Book with this setup and it's fantastic.
