Laptops are not going to work well with PCI-passthrough. My laptop has almost every device in it's own IOMMU group. However, sadly it only has one GPU. Solutions that have worked for others, look here. https://forum.level1techs.com/t/play-games-in-windows-on-linux-pci-passthrough-quick-guide/108981 Also watch the youtube videos and read the forums from this group. There is much information to glean. unRAID.net may also be a consideration with lower security though. Again many videos that have information that can be gleaned. Search youtube for spaceinvader one. I am considering a Proxmox server for my personal needs since qubes doesn't have support for GPU pass-through. With all of that said I really wish qubes would allow the user to determine how much security they want in their system build and just support GPU pass-through so qubes would be an option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
