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.

Yeah, build your own desktop, carefully pick a compatible GPU and then deal with access issues to the VM. Most ways to access the image coming out of the VM are either slow or glitchy. Unfortunately this isn't a solution for people who need to do their daily jobs on those programs.
Last time I looked into passthrough (for qemu), it was non-trivial to set up, though. Has that gotten any easier?
It's not something I would trust my mother to be able to setup but if you are a regular Linux user then it shouldn't be too hard for you.
And it's a one-time setup. Once it's working, it'll keep working, unless wondering drastically changes with iommub groups or something (i.e. check before doing major BIOS updates).
If it isn't that it means it isn't decent software :D
Ahaha very funny. So tell me, how are you passing the image from the passthrough GPU back to your system?
Looking Glass and IddSampleDriver. A second monitor would work just fine too.
Does it work reliably for you? I also experienced some form of slow down / frame dropping.
I don't game on Windows, but yes, it isn't as smooth as native apps.
That's my issue there. Can't use it for graphical work and frankly I even notice it with MS Office.
well, I definitely don't notice it during normal PC usage, it only noticeably lags when CPU is busy
