Down that hole

    I use a windows VM with OVMF passthrough. For maximum convenience, I reused my old rx 580 as windowsbox dedicated passthrough gpu, with 8gb of RAM.

    It works like a charm. Anything on Linux that can’t be run smoothly, VM solves it, at the convenience juat starting the VM when I need it, then close and go on with my day. I also use tiling WM so I can assign the VM to its own workspace, fullscreen and everything, so theres very little friction.

    Encourage anyone that is in this situation to try it out, for from what i’ve seen, the problem is more of compatibility niche problems than actually something inherently wrong with Linux.
