Evan Hernandez
what hypervisor allows for me to install microsoft botnet and not take any performance hit while gaming?
Benjamin Green
>unsecured microsoft botnet
wut? just get windows 7
Ian White
you retard, microsoft stopped where you could choose updates. you are now forced to install botnet or be unsecure.
Hunter Gutierrez
are you mentally handicapped
Gavin Clark
no why?
William Thomas
if you care for video games this system isn't for you.

None, don't let retards fool you with buzzword such as "gpu passthrough"

>install mint 18 well here's your problem didn't you learn nothing from browsing Sup Forums?
Easton Cooper
But all distros have fucking tearing that you have to fix by yourself, at least with proprietary drivers on nvidia. And nouveau doesn't even properly support anything newer than fx 5200 and has half the performance of proprietary drivers.

Spotted the retard.

Use arch if you want the latest and greatest. Sorry, you're going to have to figure out how to configure shit on your own.
Christopher Thompson
>fx 5200 >something novidya doesn't even make >arch >lastest and greatest wheres my linux git package in the repos? sorry kid but gentoo is more up to date.
Eli Collins
Don't browse Sup Forums for advice on distros, it's like browsing Sup Forums for advice on good bands
Sup Forums will tell you that Arch is better than Ubuntu or Mint, and Sup Forums will tell you The Shaggs are better than Deep Purple

>GPU Passthrough >Buzzword One of the best features to come out over the past years and it works absolutely amazing. I've been using it for the past three-four months and it has been the sole reason why I could remove Windows from the bare metal.
Those who find it hard to install are idiots. All you need to do is fucking enable VT-d, setup the IOMMU in the grub default command line, add vfio_pci to the loaded kernel modules and add the device IDs of the GPU and GPU's HDMI to the modprobe.d. Reboot. Now all you need to do is create the VM and hide the hypervisor for the NVIDIA card.
There's so many guides. It's so worth it and it enables so much.

Gaming on GNU/Linux is piss easy, you just need to solve a few problems first. Not that you could do it though, since you're a retard.
Brandon Walker
>>inb4 games are for kids >I have a full time job in the tech sector and have graduated college. Doesn't mean shit. Over 40, been in the industry for over a decade, use Windoh's for gaming, Linux for Get Shit Done.
>graphics look blurry in all the games Hmm, that's more strange, i never had this problem. The only thing i can think of is that maybe your resolution is wrong?
>update kernel to 4.4.0 I don't think the kernel is the problem in the first place.
Gavin Thompson
>you just need to solve a few problems first. To be fair Debian doesn't enable by default a lot of firmware and blobs that are usually necessary for some hardware to work. User oriented distros like ubuntu hardly have this problem.
