Is it dangerous to disable hyperv?

Note: Excuse me that I'm total noob but I do want to improve though.

Is it true that it will increase preformance in VM? Asking because I never used VM before and if I recall correctly it's a major security risk to disable it.

Context: I want to use mint in VM on windows 11 PC, and have max performance, for porpuses like gaming, programming, learn about linux in general and just casual stuff for fun. I don't want to dual boot though because I really struggled with it when I tried it once with ubuntu.

Anyways if any of you have advice, I'd really appreciate it, thanks.
