Is it possible to run Windows in KVM, without the extra GPU or KVM switch, but with degraded performance? Not for gaming, but for example for Office use?

- tbr1 5y agoYes, QXL can do that and has built-in support in e.g. virt-manager. It's not going to be fast, but it does work, and is how installation of Looking Glass can be bootstrapped without a physical monitor attached.

Disk I/O can be a severe bottleneck on HDDs, so try this with a SSD. [1]. https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps
