I have a Thinkpad P16s Ryzen 7840U running Bazzite-DX and a P14s Ryzen 5850U running Aurora-DX. I have Win11 VMs on both. On Aurora I’m using the Virtual Machine Manager setup out of the box and on Bazzite I used ujust to install it. The VM under Aurora performs much better than the one under Bazzi…
