Both from an economics as well as a security point of view.
I think it makes sense it you are on a budget. But you do not need GPU path-through, you only need CUDA interface, so I believe it is already feasible today. Use the integrated GPU for Dom0 and all your work VMs. Have a MiningVM with all the other GPU attached to it. However ,you probably want a kvm switch to distance yourself from your new radiator and noise generator. > > -- > Tom Zander > Blog: https://zander.github.io > Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
