 ## Enabling hardware-assisted virtualization
 
 Hardware-assisted virtualization is rarely turned on by default, even on computers that support it: this section explains how to enable it.
 
-> Failing to enable hardware-assisted virtualization will make running virtual machines extremly **slow**, if possible at all. If it cannot be enabled, you would be better off picking a Linux distribution which doesn't require it, such as [Debian](https://www.debian.org/distrib/) or [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/)
