The main reason I wanted to get this setup working was because I found myself tired of using a dual-boot setup. I wanted to launch a Windows VM specifically for gaming while still be able to use my Linux host for development work.
The main reason I wanted to get this setup working was because I found myself tired of using a dual-boot setup. I wanted to launch a Windows VM specifically for gaming while still being able to use my Linux host for development work (simultaneously).
At this point, you might be wondering... Why not just game on Linux? This is definitely an option for many people, but not one that suited my particular needs. Gaming on Linux requires the use of tools like [Wine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)) which act as a compatabilty layer for translating Windows system calls to Linux system calls. On the other hand, a GPU passthrough setup utilizes [KVM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine) as a hypervisor to launch individual VMs with specific hardware attached to them. Performance wise, there are pros and cons to each approach.<span name="return1"><sup>[1](#footnote1)</sup></span>
