Looking Glass: Run a Windows VM on Linux in a window with native performance

Re:Looking Glass: Run a Windows VM on Linux in a window with... by 77pt77 on Sunday July 18, 2021 @03:19AM (#27871280)

What about machines with dual graphics cards, like one intel on board and another nvidia?

Would that be OK?

I ask because many laptops used to have similar setups.

Yes, this works for many laptops but it depends on how the laptop is internally wired. We have many members that use their iGPU for Linux, and the dGPU for the VM.

I haven't tried in about 6 months but I had issues with reusing that same dGPU if I wanted to use it for Linux gaming when the VM is offline. I thought it would be easy to bind and unbind it as needed but had issues with doing so. Is this a possible/recommended setup, is there another alternative or I shouldn't bother trying?

In theory yes, but I concluded my attempts on a Dell 9570 with “forget it”.

I fear I'll get a similar result.
