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.

Not OP, but didnt work for me. I dont know how to passtrough gpu (or not possible with single gpu?) and performance is so bad its unusable
I had a very similar situation.
I have to use Rhino 3D for work but refuse to give up my Arch daily driver.
I've been a sysadmin since Red Hat came on floppies.
And getting PCIe passthrough, accelerated network and disk drivers, and a whole plethora of other odds and ends working to the point where I could even boot Win11 took two solid days of work.
I'm still not even sure how I did it. I wouldn't expect anybody else to figure it out.
Next time I plan on experimenting with the Photon libraries.
I've been using Linux as my (mostly) sole desktop since 2005. We've come such a long way! But CAD/CAM software has always been anemic.
This makes me more comfortable to finish building my 2nd PC for windows with KVM switch
I'm curious about this as well, have had trouble getting it to work well and wondering if I need a second gpu to pass through... But if that's the case, what does it do for cpu? Pass through some of the cores? Same with ram?
Honestly I've just been having better luck running things via proton... Got fusion 360 running fine in bottles with proton ge.
Yes and yes, theoretically you can somehow get single GPU passtrough working but it was never a clean solution for me. CPU and RAM must be shared though.
I am running a 4070 Ti and a 4060 Ti (for the VM trough Looking Glass) and a 5800X3D of which 6 cores and 24GB of RAM go to the VM. Allows me to play any modern AAA game at 1440p perfectly fine. And since there are 2 GPUs I can still use Gnome and run programs like Discord on Linux. But I only use the VM if wine/proton can’t run it.
Yeah this was my issue too.
SR-IOV is the keyword you can start with. I know Nvidia only supports it with pro cards. Didn't used to be the case, but I think AMD followed suit. I'm not sure on that point. I read recently that Intel is working on it for their Arc cards in the new driver, or something, but I'm really not familiar with anything regarding Intel's discrete cards.
