The performance isn't inherent in the design. It's perfectly feasible to have hardware accelerated graphics without passing through a whole GPU, since we have virtualization ready mesa vulkan drivers. And since you control the guest, you can dynamically scale memory use (if only one way), and everything else has negligible performance impact. As such, I think the only thing that's preventing running every application in a VM for me is the user experience, and this is by far the hardest thing to get right, but this will eventually be the gold standard.
- kaba0 5y agoI agree with you, though if we raise the bar for our threat model, running a not-too secure vm image is still not the best option.
- eptcyka 5y agoThat's an issue with the hypervisor and not the image then, but I do agree that the GPU virtualization is a large and complex attack surface. Regardless, I see these as problems that can be solved with effort.
