If anyone is interested, the main developer, who goes by 'gnif' spends a decent amount of time on the dedicated Looking Glass sub-forum on the Level1Techs forum, here: https://forum.level1techs.com/c/software/lookingglass/142 https://forum.level1techs.com/c/software/lookingglass/142 Level1Techs also has a ton of information and help both on the forum, and their YouTube channel, about setting up Looking Glass and VFIO. The main host of the YouTube channel, Wendell, has forgotten more about nitty-gritty system administration than I will likely ever know in my lifetime. He also just seems like a genuinely good human being.

Just want to say that gnif is amazing. He is always happy to help out people on the looking glass support discord. Plus he's absolutely dedicated to continuing to improve the software he writes and the ecosystem around it. Top notch guy.

  Thanks mate, your support is appreciated.

I looked into this project (and related GPU pass through projects) a few years ago. Putting the discussion and even some issue tracking into a "support thread" in this forum makes getting information really difficult. It's the same experience when you want to install LinageOS and realize you have to go through a long thread on XDA and sometimes reddit to solve any issue you may have.

  We have tried very hard to rectify this with the B4 release by adding a documentation project to the repository, which is available in HTML form here: https://looking-glass.io/docs/stable/ https://looking-glass.io/docs/stable/

    Thank you! Although TBH linux gaming has been usable to the extent that I probably will never have to run windows ever again..

    Also thanks for opening an account outside your community (here) just to help people. Also, didn't know that any 4 letter usernames were available here on HN anymore :)

      Haha, yeah, it's why I like this handle, it's very rarely used anywhere. As for support, I do encourage people to join the Discord or head on over to the L1Techs forums as I won't really be monitoring this very closely. Edit: I mean I am at the moment because I am super stoked to make #1 on HN :D

      I was very surprised when my three-letter username and was actually available just about two months ago.

Note we also have a very active Discord where I try to be very active where most of the support and discussions happen. https://discord.gg/52SMupxkvt https://discord.gg/52SMupxkvt

Gnif also has a patreon to support his work https://www.patreon.com/gnif https://www.patreon.com/gnif (mentioning this because I only discovered it a long time after using looking glass)
