    Windows paravirtualized drivers for QEMU\KVM

  • virtio-GPU for Windows for now is just a basic display driver, without any kind of acceleration, so there shouldn't be any difference between using it and QXL, which is fully emulated and in it, if necessary, you can increase the VRAM to be able to use high resolutions, as explained here. Note: this link is just from a quick search, I tried this for myself some time ago but my intention was not to increase the resolution but just to find out if it was possible to have some kind of 3D acceleration, as it happens in VirtualBox, but is not possible yet.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
