I just recently discovered that VMWare got purchased by Broadcom, and that performance took a hit for quite a while before the latest version (sorry for the Reddit link: https://old.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/1m1u2kj/vmware_workstation_1764_finally_a_ray_of_hope/)
I also learned that Hyper-V is actually quite good nowadays, and just switched to it recently for when I have to use Windows as the main OS. It runs quite well.
Unless you have a specific need for some specific feature there’s nothing wrong with Hyper-V, it works quite well. And it’s already built into all the Windows Pro/Server OSes since at least Windows 10.
I’ve never done anything like gaming with it / never tried to dedicate a GPU for it so it’s possible you need something else if that’s more along the lines of what you’re after.
Hyper-V is definitely very good now
