Shell KVM

Open-source Shell projects categorized as KVM

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It was merged into the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007.

    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

  • quickpassthrough

    A project to remove the complexity of setting up GPU passthrough for qemu

    Project mention: GPU Passthrough Laptop | reddit.com/r/VFIO | 2023-01-26
  • KVM-GPU-Passthrough

    This is a simple, mostly automated guide to pass a GPU through to a VM.

    Project mention: 2 Things: Freeze on login screen after loading up vm | system doesn't load after isolating gpu | reddit.com/r/VFIO | 2023-03-14

    I'm trying to run Win10 in kvm with a single gpu (rtx 2060) using this guide. But I can't manage to work it. Did everything through guide, checked that scripts works but when I start vm it stuck on terminal's login screen and I think that GPU disconnects from the host, but it doesn't go further than that.

  • pikvm-board

    Cheap and high performance hardware based on CM4 for pikvm or tinypilot

    Project mention: 2022 Sep 19 Stickied 🅵🅰🆀 & 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐊 thread - Boot problems? Power supply problems? Display problems? Networking problems? Need ideas? Get help with these and other questions! 𝑨𝑺𝑲 𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑬 𝑭𝑰𝑹𝑺𝑻 | reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi | 2022-09-22

    Secondly, I would also like to install another OS - at least https://docs.pikvm.org/flashing_os/ (because I bought this https://github.com/ThomasVon2021/pikvm-board ) - I suppose I can have a boot-menu to select which partition to boot from, right? On a normal linux pc I should choose between UEFI vs BIOS boot. I assume I can also get something like a grub boot menu with automatic timeout (default boot method)?
