At least in my case, my rig has more than enough power to run debian in VirtualBox at native resolution. Works better than the native installation on my work thinkpad actually... one more excuse to work from home when I get the chance ;)

But if your windows breaks or decides to update it impacts your Linux as well no?

"Impact" in the sense that I'd have to use a different computer, I guess.

The image of the VM is portable.

A force shutdown would force shutdown my VM, yes. I haven't ever had that on my PC, can't remember if it's because I fenagled updates or what.
