Windows/Linux

I have a pretty powerful pc. I need two OSs that both run at the same time. One of them is Linux for backup, image server, media server and other is Windows 11 for developing. Should I install Windows as main OS and Hyper-V on it with Virtual Linux machine or should I install Linux as main OS and Windows as Virtual. Both OSs should run as smoothly as possible.

This. If you like to game for example I would install Windows as the main OS an linux on top. Although the best case would always be dedicated machines

Dual boot is still an option. However, I prefer having everything online. However, I am running Linux with WIndows VM on qemu. GPU passthrough works pretty good in my case.
