      It’s for GPU passthrough shenanigans, i.e. loaning out an entire GPU to your VM

      I need a shit-tier, low-power GPU to stay on the host when doing that, and that’s what that 710 is for

        When you shutdown the VM, does the GPU go back to your host system or how does that work? Could you go from playing games on a windows VM to playing games on the host Linux machine with minimal effort?

          I haven’t actually set it up yet (hardware is all in place, just haven’t resolved the fucking driver issue that I would need to do so first, plus also I would need a game I want to run on Windows that I can’t on Linux), but according to my reading, there are essentially two stages to it.

          When you loan out the GPU, first you have to disconnect it from the host OS, then the VM automatically grabs it when it boots. When the VM shuts down, it releases the GPU, but the host doesn’t automatically resume ownership of it, you have to either configure a system to automate that, or leave it on a manual control system.

      Pretty much any distro can be customized to any aesthetic no?

      Afaik arch doesn’t apply any theming to any of the DEs/WMs in the repos, just their defaults

      important correction because the hyprland dev is ridiculously active and devoted to the project and he deserves the credit
