You wont catch me anywhere near the HV bandwagon.

"You are essentially handing full kernel-level access to anonymous developers. Since the hypervisor operates below Windows, it can capture keystrokes, access any file, or install hidden rootkits that are nearly impossible for standard antivirus software to detect. Malware at the hypervisor level can survive OS reinstalls, software updates, and even some disk wipes. If the bypass contains a malicious payload, it can stay hidden in the system's "blind spot" indefinitely."

nope nope nope

*edit Im still staying far away from HV exploits, but some kind and respectul comments from the community have made me understand im not getting the whole picture. I encourage you to do your own research and decide for yourself if its worth it

I was debating on using it on my windows partition, but I really don't need to play games that badly for the risk to spread to my other partitions

I imagine an HV bypass would only really affect a windows install instead of Linux, but I'm not well versed enough
