I thoroughly agree, Linux KVM and GPU passthrough is amazing.
I was disappointed with USB for guests though, I found it impossible to restore my iPhone via iTunes on a Windows VM, because the USB device wouldn't automatically bind to the VM. Which is something even VirtualBox can do well. But maybe the tech has progressed, or there's a better solution to that issue now.
- RealStickman_ 6y agoI "solved" that issue by getting a pcie usb card and passing that through.
- ghthor 6y agoThis is the best way to connect VR headsets as well.
- RealStickman_ 6y agoTrue, though you'd have to do some research on usb controllers that are supported. I had to do that for my Rift s.
- tarruda 6y agoI can't speak for Apple products, but passing USB devices with libvirt/qemu worked nicely so far for me (devices attach/detach automatically when the VM is powered on/off). My main experience is with a Logitech g933 headset, which requires windows-only software to control certain parts of the device.
