both tribes are doing this? What laws are the Democrats passing that are specifically targeted at the Republican demographic? especially with the goal of harassing them?

I use a separate GPU for my linux host and the windows VM.

I am 99.9% sure you can not passthru a GPU to a VM that is being used by the host.

edit: I think I misunderstood your question. The GPU that gets passed thru to the VM, never gets initialized by the host system during boot. So, if you want to change which GPU you want to passthru to the VM, you will have to reboot to allow your host to use the other GPU (and not init the on you want passed thru to the VM).

I would suggest you look at a youtube video where they run thru setting this up, so you get a better idea of what this entails!

I did not try VMWare Workstation, but I did try VMWare Player and VirtualBox to see if I can get away with running Fusion 360 on a plain VM, and both had extremely horrible performance.

I remember even SketchUp wouldn't start in VirtualBox. I was able to get SketchUp running in VMWare Player, but the performance was very bad.

edit: this was also about 1.5 years ago, not sure how much improvements VMWare and VirtualBox have made in that time in terms of virtualizing GPU calls.

That is why I decided to end up setting up a VM with GPU passthru. It works extremely well for my usecase. I was able to score a cheap GPU for my Linux host (since I do not do anything graphically intensive on Linux, just need to drive 3 monitors), and was able to passthru my more expensive GPU over to the Windows VM. I would assume if you have integrated graphics on your CPU, you could use that for your host OS and get away with having only a single GPU.

I find it weird that your point against org-mode is "too much lock-in".

It is a plain text format, which looks good even wherever it is viewed.

Pandoc even supports org-mode[1], which should let you convert an org-file to say markdown if you want.
