  • I've had Windows and Linux on dualboot for a while now, because of that i usually stayed on Windows as I didn't want to have to restart my PC everytime just to go from watching youtube to playing (Windows supports my graphics card [GTX 1050 2GB Vram] better then linux, at least on the games I play). I have tried to make a VM of windows before but it didn't run well, at least not well enough for gaming. So recently when I found out about GPU passthrough I saw It as a way to main Linux and still game on Windows. I know the process of doing It is hard (I already failed it twice), so as I noticed that tutorials on the internet didn't really help me, I decided to come in here. I've mainly seen 2 guides on how to do It, those being joeknock90's (link: https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough) and YuriAlek's (link: https://gitlab.com/YuriAlek/vfio), and I don't know which one would be better for my case.
