Sounds like an awesome setup :) How much load does your cpu have running so many containers and vm's? I have heard of software solutions for io switching. So you could get rid of usb switching.

I run an Arch host with passthrough myself but it was really a long project setting everything up just right. Especially for gaming.

Really looking forward to buying a Ryzen or Threadripper to go further and virtualize my working enviroment etc.

External public link, I also just realized my monitoring isn't fully active but you can see historical trends.

The CPU is barely breaking a sweat. I wouldn't mind a thread ripper so all VMS can get a quad core. But right now it's plenty powerful.

The input was the biggest pain in the butt. Especially on windows... I've seen the evdev passthrough and hot swap but didn't have the best luck with it. While hacky. Assigning a USB controller to each VM has worked best.

I agree it's a long setup, and still requires some care. It's not straight up and running like a linux/windows desktop. I've had windows just mark the usb controller as inactive, and I then need to reboot the entire host. Something I'm still digging into. But there is much better documentation out there. Things like project looking glass are also impressive.
