I am soon will be setting up a desktop soon for my day-to-day tasks and gaming usage. I would like to have it run Linux for my day to day usage, but have a Windows VM running on top of it for gaming purposes (with PCIe passthrough for the graphics card). From my current research, I can use KVM and Qemu to run the Windows VM and have a graphics card passed through to the VM.
From what I am reading, when I load the KVM kernel module, it converts the Linux kernel into a type 1 hypervisor. My question is that can the Linux hypervisor still be used as a normal machine for my day to day tasks? or should I have another Linux VM set up on top of the hypervisor (leading to 2 VMs)?
The question should rather be: Do you have enough GPUs? // Also, as general advice: getting GPU passthrough to work isn’t always easy. – Daniel B – 2019-10-21T16:59:00.637
@DanielB Ya, I'm actually following in my friend's footsteps where he did something similar. He learned the hard way and needed to buy a cheap graphics card just for the hypervisor. – Aryan – 2019-10-21T18:17:23.453
