You ever tried to do photo manipulation, graphic design, or video editing in a virtualized OS? It is miserable. There is a reason I said I was dual booting and not running virtualization :)

I use GPU passthrough and run games in Windows under KVM with equal or slightly less (~3-5%) frames. Photo manipulation and graphic design work fine in Photoshop in my setup. Not so sure about video editing.
