If you want to put in more work for more freedom, a lot of SBC’s can do something similar too.

That being said it builds up vulnerabilities in anti-cheats to another beautiful crowstrike like domino cluster fuck

I skimmed over your entire comment minus the part about docker, so if you answered this somewhere and I’m a dumbass I already accept fault,

that being said docker has taught me more about Linux than anything else, cause its like a micro Linux you can reliably bring up and take down on demand, without requiring risking breaking your GUI or something scary

Oh I see, have you tried file versioning?

It honestly sounds exactly like what you want, and the support is even built in to call an external command if you don’t like their default options provided

Is the roundabout way file versioning? Cause its been pretty stable for me, just toss a device with lots of space on the cluster and crank up the versions to your hearts content

If you don’t want the card I wouldn’t be against buying it off you for a bit more than an rx590

I have a rack server in the garage with a gaming PC in it, 2 PSU’s and the 2 GPU’s mentioned, all running on Debian (which I soon plan to swap to nixos).

The AMD GPU’s is passed through to a windows VM with 8 gigs or so of ram, for VR development in the garage usually, but sometimes is streamed as well.

The second Nvidia GPU goes to my linux machine on Ubuntu just for ease of patched nvidia drivers, a couple virtual monitors with an xconfig like this, and is my daily driver with 16 gigs of RAM.

Both use Virtio drivers for disk, network, and anything else I’m forgetting, Pcie passthrough via KVM/QEMU on the host.

I’d say the latency hangs around 5ms when streaming both at once, and never comes close to saturating the gigabit connection, but I’m sure some optimisations could be done somewhere along the line.

Clients run on anything from an Xbox series X to a random PC, hopefully soon an orange pi (worried about latency though).

When I have a workload requiring both GPU’s I just keep 2 moonlight windows open and use the keybinds to unfocus the mouse then alt+tab to swap between them.

I don’t have any complaints, although one time when my thermal setup was worse I left 2 copies Subnautica running for my wife and I to at Nitrox together, and it did start to drop in fps on the Linux machine once we picked it up after an hour or 2 running the games AFK.

Edit to add I’m mostly using this for gaming right now, but its handled everything (within reason) that I’ve tossed at it, but I’m planning on soon setting up this sometime soon also across a couple other PC’s, but as of right now the VM’s feel as if they’re entirely distinct PC’s from an external perspective

I currently have a setup exactly like this, with a threadripper 2950x, an RX 6600, and a 2070 super.

Let me know if you have any questions in the specifics, but its 100% possible

Best part of this setup is being able to connect to both via sunshine on many displays at once

Woah do you even use a keyboard??

None of those over here since the 80s

Sounds like games on whales was nearly made for you.

If you’re wired on both ends, its essentially unnoticeable

I got an underpowered gaming laptop I use lxqt when running heavier things, plasma the rest of the time, biggest issue I’ve found is lxqt dirtied up the desktop with home/trash/documents links

Just attempting to setup pihole + some DNS rules for this, but can’t yet say it works cause I haven’t gotten that far

I mean I’d be happy to hear the other vulnerabilities then, cause I find it fairly unbelievable you can know how they’re handled on every single Wayland compositor

Oddly enough this made me realise I solely use directory for windows, I think cause windows uses dir instead of ls and cd is used in both lmao

Everything. Is. A. File.

And interestingly enough the home directory itself falls outside of itself

Just for an anecdote on functional vlans, I once knew someone that had their WAN sent into a managed switch, set it on a vlan with their router elsewhere in the network

Though it could be cheaper to have a backup or 2, all identical bits stored on them and swap them out as(/if) they fail

Alpine Linux’s setup has some nice options for this too
