Ok, let's assume you can live with the bugs of kde or tolerate the retarded design of gnome, but there is no software. No autocad, no fl studio. No photoshop. No office, for fucks sake.

its not good. i was simplifying too much.

its good in the sense that the more users, the more developers.
the most important thing though is to keep the GNU/GPL/Free software alive.
GPL software naturally attracts development time and this can not be negotiated away in exchange for anything because it is a big reason why linux was developed so much the last 30 years.

GPL is non-negotiable

How do you create a VM with GPU pass through?
>>
>>107498499
You have to have an iGPU or a secondary card from a past build that you can dedicate to the VM. The basic gist of it is this:
>you hide the #2 card's PCI group from the host OS by editing the grub boot configs
>now your host ignores the #2 card and doesn't use it,
>Use the VM manager gui to attach the PCI device to the guest
>Switch your monitor's input to the second card
Bam! You're on Windows!

>>107499072
I have a 6900XT and a gtx980. What do I do now?
>>
>>107499102
It depends. A lot of people who do the passthrough thing want their passthrough VM to have more graphics power than the host. I.e. they'll use the host for less intensive stuff that doesn't require a GPU, then the passthrough VM for the more GPU intensive stuff like gaming and AI. If that matches your situation, you should pass through the 6900XT, since it's way more powerful, and let the host have the GTX980 because that should be fine for everything else.
>>
>>107499170
Is there anything elsei should get to make this work? Or, do I just use both GPUs in my rig?

>>107499667
Yes just plug both GPUs into your motherboard. Sorry anon I didn't mean to send you down this rabbit hole, PCI passthrough is worth a try but you probably don't need this extra equipment for it. At most just a 2nd HDMI cable so you can plug your main monitor into both GPUs and just switch input between them.
>>
>>107499667
about*
>>107499865
I appreciate your response, anon, but, I have no space in my current rig for the 980 as the 6900XT is in the top PCI slot and a SAS HBA controller on the last PCI slot. my mobo is a AM4 Dark Hero
>>
>>107489451
>Also, x11 and 2 monitors.
works on my machine (mixed refresh rates and resolutions btw)
>>
>>107500078
only the middle PCI slot is available.
>>
>>107500078
Ah I see. Does your CPU have integrated graphics? Because that would make it a lot easier since you wouldn't even need a second GPU, you could just pass through your current one. If not then I'd say just forget about passthrough for now, and just stick with dual booting or something. It's probably not worth going out and buying a whole bunch of new shit for unless you really see yourself getting some serious use out of that VM.
>>
>>107500159
no. it's a 5950X and no onboard gfx controller. yeah. I hate the dualbooting bullshit and would rather just do everything on Linux. I appreciate your advice nevertheless.
>>
Maybe I’m a midwit but I did the GPU passthrough meme with a 3090 to Windows 11 like 2 years ago and it had stuttering issues and kernel level anti cheat games like Fortnite detect it and kick you out of matches. Not worth the hassle imo.

Well sure. But if you often play games online with friends there is a near 100% chance that there will be some games they want to play that don't run on your machine because of anticheat software. And depending on what kind of games you/they are into this could even be the majority of them.

Seems as good a thread as any to ask. Since I still had a DDR5 kit lying around (long story) I decided to get an 9950X3D before AM5 and their motherboards also increase 10x in price. How seamless is GPU passthrough really?
I've thought about using the iGPU for the root OS and only pass through the dGPU to a LTSC10 VM when necessary otherwise using it on the main host. Can I just do that or would I have to blacklist the driver and reboot the host each fucking time I want to switch where the dGPU is used? Because honestly at that point hell to the fuck no LTSC10 is going to last another 5-10 years, maybe by then running the games I want is possible without bullshit.
