macOS-Simple-KVM VS gpu-passthrough-tutorial

I'm a 30 year linux veteran and windows free for over 22. I di d have a windows vm for some time because I have some music stuff that doesn't work with linux, like a nord keyboard and some guitar stuff.

But i burnt the vm with fire when I found https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM

I've heard a lot of buzz for MacOS-Simple-KVM but I see there hasb't been an update in 3 years.

You could always get a regular PC laptop, install linux on it and run your macos/windows vms via https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM qemu kvm, supports full hardware acceleration and should be able to do nested vms just fine, i run a macos vm on my desktop for work and a hardware accelerated windows vm for gaming

Then, i came across this tool https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM. However, it seems like it's asking me to install a different package for QEMU. sudo apt-get install qemu-system qemu-utils python3 python3-pip. Thankfully, I was able to create a Mac VM with this tool.

His github project " https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM "

git clone https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM.git /home/Downloads

You can virtualize mac os, but I would call it easy

I did the Windows passthrough with some problems but I got it to work and then I attempted MacOS for fun and it went down hill from there. Following this guide https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM I installed it no problem without passthrough then realised my 3060ti wouldn't work so I installed an old RX580 laying around and decided to passthrough that, when I did it hung, tried blacklisting the AMD drivers on host, amongst other things and I couldn't get it to work. I then switched to this guide using clover https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM as I heard that might work and nope it hung again.

Check https://github.com/bryansteiner/gpu-passthrough-tutorial. It looks like a well-written and comprehensive guide to set up GPU passthrough with KVM (Pop-OS specific). If you have spare external hard drives, just backup your OS through Clonezilla/Rescuezilla so that you can restore the OS if it breaks.

The main guides I have used are the bryansteiner guide, the risingprismtv guide and this Ubuntu 22.04 guide.

So bad news I followed this guide completely without luck I tried passing through my 5500 xt and it just shows a black screen and it also makes my main display which is using my Intel arc a770 gray as well

Hi, I've been trying to pass a AMD Radeon 6700 (non XT) to a Windows 10 VM following this guide. First of all, I haven't been able to get any output signal after turning the VM on, but also don't get a video signal after the VM stops and is supposed to reattach to the host. Trying to start the VM again yields a "Unknown PCI header type '127'" error. I have heard about the AMD reset bug, but I thought the issue was fixed with 6000 series cards.

Looks like your missing some optimizations such as hyperv enhancements and cpu pinning among others. Mine was quite laggy prior to the changes outlined Here

I am running Windows successfully with passing my Nvidia GPU to it. The setup was pretty easy and without any large issues. Hooked the GPU into the system using this tutorial and installed the drivers. It works nice with a monitor connected. It also works well with Looking Glass and games also run as expected.

I just stumbled upon a guide by Brainstenier on Github that explains how to use hook scripts to dynamically bind devices (GPU, SSD, etc.) to the Windows VM before launching it, and unbind them after shutting done the VM.

I used steps from [Bryan's tutorial](https://github.com/bryansteiner/gpu-passthrough-tutorial) and this OpenSUSE wiki page for setting up my VM.

I tried following https://github.com/bryansteiner/gpu-passthrough-tutorial but I couldn't get it to work. It would stall when the hook script fired to unbind the GPU. I scrapped it and am going to start over.
