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.

If you have a desktop and can install a dedicated GPU for Gaming, libvirt should be able to game a full speed

Sorry, but wouldn't you need 2 video cards for that to work?

One for regular desktop and one for the VM to access to game properly?? (GPU pass though)

Edit: Or does it work on Intel CPUs aa the desktop could use the igpu while the windows VM uses the dedicated one?

Ryzen users is shit outta luck if that's true. Ramming 2 dedicated GPUs in one computer might be a more expensive affair.

That's what I meant by "dedicated GPU for Gaming" presuming the desktop already had a video card for regular use.

Will battle eye and other anti cheat software work?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sure. Why not. The game wouldn't know you're in a VM. The GPU is presented to Windows so it SHOULD all just work. There's plenty on Youtube for getting this to work.

Okay i will try that. Thank you so much you helped me a lot.

It can easily see you're in a VM. For example, the OVMF UEFI firmware is a dead giveaway. Nobody runs that on physical hardware.
