GitHub – Botspot/bvm: Windows 11 Virtual Machine on ARM Linux

This is way easier than I thought (but you need Raspberry Pi 5 or it will be dead slow on earlier models): [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – Botspot/bvm: Windows 11 Virtual Machine on ARM Linux
And yes, there are other write-ups for doing this, but this repository is so much easier and reliable than the others.
Did not test it outside of Raspbian yet, so not sure on which other distributions it runs. It will likely run on more plainDebian, but my guess is that Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE and others will be out.
Oh: better use NVMe instead of MicroSD for speed too.
