OK, if windows can't be virtualized....I guess for a distro to bring new users to linux, it would have to be a linux distro with an automatic install procedure to install linux virtual on windows. Does that require more than the "home" windows license? not sure, but I think any computer powerful enough to really do virtualization comes with that license.

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) will run linux under Windows, but, AFAIK, only text console programs. WSL2 can run GUI programs too, but it is Win 11 only. There are probably a tonne of virtualization tools that run under Windows and can run Linux in a VM but I don't know anything about them.
