And now you suddenly have to manage two operating systems with all their quirks. Nice!
Going full Linux desktop kinda adds the same pains of going macOS but 10x. Once you open the virtualization door your productivity suffers greatly, your CPU/RAM requirements are higher and suddenly you’ve to deal with issues in two operating systems instead of just one. And… let’s face it, nothing with GPU acceleration will ever run decently unless big companies start fixing things - GPU passthroughs and getting video back into the main system are a pain and add delays.
Why not just give in an manage A SINGLE yet productive OS that is widely supported by every vender and tool you might need? To Microsoft's credit they made WSL and Windows Terminal very well and it's way easier to run the 1 or 2 Linux-only applications on those than the other way around.
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
How are you getting your video back into the main system? Some kind of remote desktop protocol? That adds delay. Unless your VM is attached to e dedicated screen you'll have issues there.
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.
There you go.
