From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

VirtualBox?
Virtualizing the whole windows OS right inside Linux I think it's the best option if you want to use the M$ ecosystem.
Don't use Virtual box for that. Use KVM with Virtio (you will need the virtio drivers from Fedora)
They are both viable options that have different advantages.
VBox has a nice friendly GUI.
KVM is fast & efficient.
there is also Virt-Manager and quickemu with quickgui, if you want friendly GUI though.
