Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomm...) , which doesn’t really matter for what I use it for but it is kind of a bummer. If you need something with a little more grunt but don’t want to go full blown with writing your own QEMU tooling or fussing with something like UTM or Parallels, [quickemu](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes)

Wanting to ditch windows 10 in favor of linux
In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI.

DistroSea- Test drive Linux distros online
VM will be shutdown automatically when it's inactive for a while. I will eventually add more distros going forward. Most distro isos are downloaded using the quickget script from the wonderful quickemu project. You may directly contribute to the upstream project to get the distro added to DistroSea.

GVM: A GPU Virtual Machine for Iommu-Capable Computers
Intel has already confirmed that GVT-g is essentially dead and not supported on their Iris/Xe or anything newer graphics.. We can also confirm this via their own drivers source..

Laptop GPU for Host use in PCI OVMF pass thru? + confusion re using iGPU
On Intel iGPUs, there are two methods: GVT-g and GVT-d. GVT-g is basically creating virtual instances of the iGPU for use in VMs, while GVT-d is passing through an entire iGPU to the guest in the same way you would do with a normal GPU.

Kholia/OS X-KVM: Run macOS on QEMU/KVM
Not really pass through, no. If CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT is enabled in your kernel, you can use Intel's graphics virtualization system... basically a virtio style virtual device that shares the GPU between VM and host. IMO this is way more convenient than real passthrough, where the device is only available either to the VM or the host. The downside is that you don't get full performance in the VM.
"Intel GVT-g is a full GPU virtualization solution with mediated pass-through (VFIO mediated device framework based), starting from 5th generation Intel Core(TM) processors with Intel Graphics processors. GVT-g supports both Xen and KVM (a.k.a XenGT & a.k.a KVMGT). A virtual GPU instance is maintained for each VM, with part of performance critical resources directly assigned. The capability of running native graphics driver inside a VM, without hypervisor intervention in performance critical paths, achieves a good balance among performance, feature, and sharing capability."

Full passthrough / GVT-d of 11th gen iGPU (Rocket Lake) to Windows 10 guest - logging my attempt.
Wait a minute. GVT-g with 11th gen iGPUs upwards does work in linux guest? Are you sure about that? See this github issue for reference.

Show HN: VGPU and SR-IOV on Consumer GPUs
To be clear, I never said it was dead, only a dead end.
As for GVT-g and Xe, according to a post in this[0] issue by one of the Intel devs, Rocket Lake (Xe) is not getting support and only does GVT-d.
Also in the same issue, someone pointed out that Intel themselves have states as much here[1].
I hope I am proven wrong in the end and GVT-g comes to then entire Xe and ARC lineup. Intel's communication on this matter has been...lacking.

GVT-D setup
After days of trial and error, I could not get it to work, maybe one of you knows it. Currently, I try to setup GVT-d with KVM on my Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 7390, which has a i7-1065G7. AFAIK GVT-g is not supported, so I gave GVT-d a chance. The virtual machine is booting without any errors, but the display stays black. I only found this guide, but couldn't get it to work...
