This is just one of many reasons Linux is my daily driver. MacOS and Windows virtualization are easy in Virtualbox, QEMU/KVM (my preference, much closer to bare metal), and others.

I have to use Windows for work and games.

In my case turned out its Hyper-V issue on Windows. If I disable it WSL2 and docker won't work. If I keep it on VirtualBox won't work 😂.

MacOS seemed to work on VBox (although super slow) before Hyper-V.

Trying Ubuntu in Hyper-V now. Seems to work ok.

I don't think they've made much progress with MacOS on Hyper-V. Yeah, VBox is less than ideal on non-Linux hosts, especially with the Hyper-V issue.
