OK /g/entooman, some dude who loves typing and virtualizatio

that's an insane amount of text for something that doesn't need that much text.

it's not even a guide, it's a fucking dissertation

I warned you that he loves to type.

Interest? Bump.

If I ever get around to reading this I get the impression it'll make me a smarter person. Don't let me down OP

Can somebody please TL;DR this? I really want to install GPU passthrough on my Arch machine and this seems like a good resource

Not the guide itself, just an introduction http://foros.3dgames.com.ar/showthread.php?t=920510
He is in fact kinda autistic, you will note that from his other posts.

The first bump aroused interest, so here's another.

do not take the post as a guide to setup a virtualised machine with hardware passthrough, it is an EXTREMELY verbose (think ssh/lspci -vvv) document (correction: 185 page book) that covers what the author puts in their own words,

>I believe my guide has a worthy niche because it tries to put together several things at once: Trying to introduce a Linux distribution considered hard to learn to Windows users with minimal or no previous Linux experience, explain things with enough depth to make you learn something about them instead of just typing in commands, and eventually, put together a customized system totally from scratch that does the job.

the section on bios boot order alone is 1,788 words which is approximately a 4 fucking page essay, the entire document is around 83,400 words (it has some terminal pasteouts but this is a fraction of the actual written document) which equates to about 185 *a4* pages

tl;dr it's an extremely specific and comprehensive yet vague BOOK aimed to people new to pc hardware in general and happen to want to setup their bios to allow passthrough, how to install arch linux for someone whose never used gnu/linux before (because linking to the arch install guide is too confusing I guess), how to install a "gui", how to install qemu, setting up qemu using the god awful virt-manager, setting up the vm, and probably setting more stuff on top of that

>some dude who loves typing

understatement of the year

>>57374782

and just to add to that, if you've ever used gnu/linux before and aren't afraid to google, you'll find far, far more concise guides, scripts, documentations, etc, on how to setup a vm with hardware passthrough and actually install the vm before you get through the preamble of the document listed in OP
