macOS-Simple-KVM VS single-gpu-passthrough

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.

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

I am following this guide to achieve Single-GPU passthrough. I am stuck at step 5, because when I run the VM for the first time to install Windows, instead it shows me a black screen with "TianoCore" when I press a key to boot the CD-ROM drive.

Not long ago I setup single GPU pass through following the instructions the risingprism wiki (https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single-gpu-passthrough). This all went very smoothly and works great.

Try this one by rising prisim

I just finished the coveted RisingPrism guide for Single GPU-Passthrough for a Windows 11 VM, and while I was successful for the most part, it wasn't entirely smooth.

Refer this guide https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single-gpu-passthrough/-/wikis/home for single gpu passthrough if ur concerned about gaming in linux

i basically followed this guide to a tee, and for some reason whenever i try booting into the VM, all i get is a black screen with my cursor. is there anything i can do to fix this?

Okay so issue, and how this all kind of ties together. I followed a siggle pass trough guide (https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single-gpu-passthrough/-/wikis/home) and I got the log which I replied to this comment which prompted me to do the ACS override pacth which didnt work and then I came here after I tried some other stuff. Back to the present I'm not sure how to fix this issue now (decided to restart over) , so in step 3 (IOMMU groups) It said to skip steps 8 and 9 if my devices were in 2 different groups, so i did, and now i get this.

I followed Risingprism's guide to Single GPU Passthrough. Currently though, disk usage is slow for me. The system often hangs when moving files around, and I can't move two files at the same time or else none of them get moved, I have to pause one.
