How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle) [video]
Tl;Dr use quickemu: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
There's also quickgui to help with launching VMs: https://github.com/quickgui/quickgui

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomm...) , which doesn’t really matter for what I use it for but it is kind of a bummer. If you need something with a little more grunt but don’t want to go full blown with writing your own QEMU tooling or fussing with something like UTM or Parallels, [quickemu](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes)

Wanting to ditch windows 10 in favor of linux
In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI.

DistroSea- Test drive Linux distros online
VM will be shutdown automatically when it's inactive for a while. I will eventually add more distros going forward. Most distro isos are downloaded using the quickget script from the wonderful quickemu project. You may directly contribute to the upstream project to get the distro added to DistroSea.

Does Visual Studio 2022 exist on Arch Linux?
Yes but you have to run visual studios in a windows virtual machine qemu/kvm/virtmanager Then pass virtual studio window to your desktop so it runs like it is native https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps optional Then use winapps to make a desktop and application launcher menu entry/icon

Working/Switching seamlessly between Linux and Windows - Ideas?
There's something called winapps which works over RDP, but you better have good specs so you get good performance. I recommend using parsec with a VM if you can passthrough a seperate GPU otherwise. https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps
