Err OK. I passthrough a card to each, switch with KVM. Its like having 2 native machines. According to you I have loads of issues, I guess I just haven’t found them yet? What should I be giving in to?
This is really weird,
ps, I sometimes game on either system, still can’t tell any performance difference from when it was bare metal. I guess I could be super lucky considering all those issues I should be having. Or maybe things aren’t quite as dramatic as you’ve portrayed them
This is some weird tribal emotional stuff.
I run both on the same machine in VMs, had this fedora install since 2019 and kept up with the version upgrades every year. Its just worked without issue during that whole period. I use office in the web app. Windows is there to run cad/cam software. It feels more gross with all the candy crush etc that you have to remove, but it works fine to run the software I need it for.
What’s with all the hyperbole above? Did someone hurt you?
I was wondering what all the issues are until I reread and picked up on the nvidia part. That’s a shame as its been so stable for a long time on my 5700xt. I went exclusively AMD GPUs when the 5700 was released and aside from early issues with the win drivers, its been such a great experience on Linux. Big motivation was to be able to retire any of my cards as a video stream transcoder (after nvidia said 2 streams maximum, fuck you all) but as I’m not looking for 4k game all these years later those cards are still all I need for 2k.
Been really impressed with amd the last few years, especially compared to NVs mad pricing
The host is headless, no video output. The 2 VMs have a GPU passed directly through vfio, so there is no additional delay. Both GPUs connect to the same 2 monitors and USB by a KVM, so its one button press to flip between systems. Though I often run the cad software over RDP, as a little extra latency when using that doesn’t bother me.
