GPU-Passthrough-Arch-Linux-to-Windows10 VS holoiso

I'm not sure I'd describe the process as "sane", but I basically did as described in this guide[0], followed by following the setup guide for Looking Glass[1].

I followed this and this guides, and managed to isolate the card. Sadly, every single time i try to install the OS, the system freezes, and is said to be paused by virt manager. I cannot unfreeze it, and i don't know how to troubleshoot it. I also tried to do a normal installation (without passthrough), and it still froze

This is for Arch. But should be doable on any distro.

Here is the guide for Arch Linux just in case if you want to disregard the advice above. The differences amount to a different package manager and a different initramfs generator (so, steps 2 and 3 of that guide become different, and apt should be used instead of pacman). For PopOS, you will need to edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file (and just list the needed modules) and run update-initramfs -u -k all.

Hi, My main focus is to use "moonlight host" in the win10 VM, I have an Nvidia 880M (discrete GPU) and the host GPU is a cheap Intel graphic card. I've used this beautiful guide: https://github.com/vanities/GPU-Passthrough-Arch-Linux-to-Windows10 to configure VFIO and libvirtd.

exclusive to the deck for now, unofficial ports exist, and official support is coming soontm

HoloISO: https://github.com/theVakhovskeIsTaken/holoiso

if you haven't seen it yet, some dedicated members of the community already made a working desktop iso (amd only obviously)

I don't recommend installing SteamOS because it may not have the drivers, I'd recommend HoloISO if you want something more akin to SteamOS, or just use the new Big Picture mode.
