10Gb networking in Virtual Machine?
I'm not using TrueNAS for VMs but since it uses KVM I'm guessing that you need the virtio network drivers for windows: https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/blob/master/README.md

- Noob question about VM.

GUIDE: How to create a network bridge for your libvirt VMs using NetworkManager and patience
13- Boot the VM and enjoy the magic. Unless... You must actually install the drivers for virtio. Pick the ISO from this repo and load it in the CDROM of your VM. Install it.

How can I install Windows 11 on VM in Fedora?
If you're using virt-manager, you should switch everything (disk, network, display) to virtio and insert the driver ISO while installing Windows. Afterwards, run the included installer to install the other drivers.

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

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.
