I’d only use windows for gaming really, wouldn’t running it in a VM be less optimal in that vase? In terms of performance of windows and playing fames within the VM.
Do you think I can program on a Windows VM? Do you work with it? I still use Windows because I need my programs to work on Windows (had my programs built on Linux fail on Windows Machines before). Do you have experience on this?
That wouldn’t be about the VM but the OS. If the software is built to target linux without care for portability then it’ll fail on windows - you’d have to compile it targetting windows, either using the Visual Studio compiler or MinGW’s gcc, be it native for windows under MSYS2 or using a cross-compiler variant.
If you can, put Windows in a VM instead.

Really depends on the virtualization technology, hardware, configuration and game. Not a gamer myself.
Gaming on linux has come a long way in recent years though, in no small part thanks to Steam.
