You will love it, then hate it, then like it, then actually love it, then hate it again, then be at peace with it because it gets the job done and it is yours, trully yours.
It’s more work but you could still do HyperV and Linux but not the full Ubuntu Desktop. You could download a 1GB ram distro like Lubuntu onto a USB stick and install it under HyperV. And equivalent to wsl which gives you a Linux command line would be Ubuntu server headless which needs only 512MB.
Thanks, but i’ve got only 4 gb ram. Do you see the problem ?
if you have windows with 4gb of ram… better backup your files, ditch windows and install linux as your native OS
Lol.
As someone who uses both extensively, and dependent on OneNote, even I wholly agree.
OP would be better off running Linux and replacing Windows dependencies with Linux equivalents.
Uggh, Windows on 4GB - even XP would struggle with that.
Dude… two words: emacs org-mode.

Do you think if l replace the os with MX Linux fluxbox, create a virtual machine using QEMU, would l be able to install windows in that VM ??
Given your ram constraints, stick with WSL.
Yes that is a problem.

But yeah wsl is easier.
