  • Sunshine

    Self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight.

    • The thing that keeps me on Windows for gaming VM is Nvidia GameStream. Haven’t gotten around to trying Sunshine server on Linux yet.

  • vfio

    A script for easy pci and usb passthrough along with disks, iso's and other useful flags for quick tinkering with less of a headache. I use it for VM gaming and other PCI/LiveCD/PXE/VM/RawImage testing given the script's accessibility.

    • These boot arguments allow me to give my VM cores 3,11 to my guest while my host continues to operate (and handle any IOThreads I may have running for the guest) on the remaining cores 0(thread0,12), core1(thread1,13) and core3 (thread2,14). Personally, I handle my pinning dynamically with a bash script I wrote and still today find myself adding features and making improvements to. It can be found here if you want to give it a shot for your use case.
