Finally dumped windows from my tower/gaming rig!!!

I'm now running Ubuntu Budgie and Windows 10 inside a qemu/kvm VM with gpu passthrough. That way I have almost-native performance and no additional setup effort for installing games.

GPU passthrough, and that works? Wow I didn't know that would be possible

@paranoidAndroid It is, but it was not particularly simple to set up. :)

The best starting point is this guide from the Arch wiki, if anyone is interested to give it a try: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.ph...

Nice! Your success story might convince me to also follow that path 👍

@w4tsn Cool

@theCalcaholic I once tried to install a setup of windows server with multiple virtual gaming systems with gpu passthrough such that I could maintain only one pc for gaming with my partner instead of two PCs.

Eventually I settled on a cloud gaming streaming service 🙈

@w4tsn Yeah, that's interesting as well. But I'm afraid I'd lose the joy in gaming if I paid per time.

Besides, I need my GPU anyways, for machine learning and such. :D
