>But I mean come on, they're Microsoft. If they really wanted filesystem access to be efficient across systems, we'd have it by now.

Here's one of the developers saying it is hard back in the WSL days.

The reason makes sense to me, but I'm not an expert. Maybe you could expand on why you think they could do it but chose not to?

I don't think he is referring to an i3 processor, but rather https://i3wm.org/

  Linux kernel source tree

Well, I said "closer", not an exact analogue. They're pretty close equivalents, though, as most Windows programs don't actually call syscalls directly, but link in an OS-provided DLL and call an exported symbol from it, with the userspace to kernel bits abstracted away from most user programs. Wine (mostly) re-implements those DLLs, effectively re-implementing the Win32 API (a userspace API) in Linux's userland.

(programs are allowed to call the kernel directly, though, and Wine has to handle those cases esp. for DRM/anti-cheat code in games that poke at the kernel directly, recently Linux was patched to allow userspace programs to directly handle syscalls [0][1], making Wine ... closer to a WSL1 equivalent?)

I haven't personally done much with VFIO but I have looked at it. From my initial look it seemed as if it would require two gpus, one for the host and one for the guest but it looks like some people have single gpu setups working

• vgpu_unlock

  144 4,264 0.0 C

  Unlock vGPU functionality for consumer grade GPUs.

That's not NV related sadly, but applies for all Android TV devices. It's beyond their control...

And for PCIe VFs for virtualized GPUs, AMD does _not_ provide it either outside of their datacenter line.

(btw, for some NV cards, there is: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock to crack that protection)
