@zemaitis haha I was in a rush.
Let me summarize it.: I have a windows vm inside of an arch linux host os. The windows vm has direct access to my other GPU with no additional layers (bare metal).
I need a software that can show me the output of the GPU that I passthrough to the guest os without having it require me to replug the video cables by myself.
Just a need for convenience. -

@C0D4 yes

Just a quick update: I've managed to write a script that acts like a kvm switch some months ago.
By pressing both ALTs (or CTRLs I don't remember it exactly anymore), it sends a base64 encoded "HDMI_SWITCH" package to my TV's webserver which switches from one os to the other one.
Linux already had a switch for usb devices. I used that and bonded some keys to my mouse and keyboard.
Do we have vfio enthusiasts here?
Now that I made my second GPU boot into Arch Linux (inb4 I use arch, btw. jokes in the comments), I also set up a windows vm with GPU passthrough.
When I plug the monitor cable into the hdmi port of my passthrough'd GPU, I can see windows os on the screen.
My problem is that I want to have it inside of the same monitor without changing the from hdmi port to hdmi port manually, but "softwarely" (neologism ftw).
I read about looking-glass in the arch wiki (I use arch, btw. + On a serious side note though, I really like the arch wiki. It is very straightforward.), but I could not get it to synchronize with the Spice display server.
Does someone know how the solution to this problem?
