No, it doesn’t. Any VM is going to be slower than bare metal due to the host OS overhead and restrictions in some hardware access.
it's just a meme ... with a kernel of truth.
when running as your main OS windows very quickly gets bogged down with everything you want to run on it.
in a VM you're only running the 1 thing you need on a fresh install, potentially a screenshot of that fresh install so it's always running at peak.
does this make up for the host overhead? maybe ... Linux has never struggled under base load for me like windows has.

Well this is a big difference lol

FWIW, while it’s not a VM, games for Windows do tend to have higher performance in Proton on Linux than they do in Windows 11.

It is highly hardware and game dependent. I can run any game that came before 2019 on my 1060 on both with similar performance. Anything that came after that is hit or miss. For example, Until Dawn remake does not launch on linux but runs smooth (barring some menu hangs) on Windows 10.
