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.

Windows 10/11 VM with GPU pass through? (sh.itjust.works)

Running EndeavourOS and found a few games that have had some issues on linux, that I have found to be pretty much unfixable.

Unfortunately that would mean using a windows dualboot, and I really don't want windows on this laptop.

Would there be a way to run a windows VM with passing through the dgpu (AMD RX 6700m GPU), BUT able to use the dgpu when the VM is powered off? Unless I'm misunderstanding the guides, the gpu would be "locked" to the VM, and that would be unacceptable as I would mostly game on the host OS.

This is probably a given but the laptop does have integrated graphics as well (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H).

Any potential help would be appreciated, thanks!

KVM + LookingGlass + VirtManager should be the way to go. I don’t have a good complete tutorial on this right now though. But good place to start looking.
