I run Wayland on my hypervisor OS and pass through my NVIDIA GPU to a VM with proprietary drivers in order to take full advantage of my card.

Do you know of any blog posts that would discuss a setup like this? Sounds pretty interesting.

Alex Williamson has an excellent VFIO blog that discusses the basics of GPU passthru. [0]

I think the instructions are meant for Debian however and there are some differences in the commands you need to run. If you use a Redhat distro and/or you want some further optimization tips I'm also happy to work you through the process.
