Linux + gaming + KVM + multiple monitors?

I did this for a while with a 3080 and a a770. It works well, but after a while (and new Nvidia drivers) I switched fully to Linux.

  • yes the GPU needs to be unused by Linux to allow for passthrough. There are some guides for making single GPU passthrough work but I never went down that road.

  • see first response, making the Nvidia card available to both Linux and the VM is a hassle I never did. I would just game on Linux with the a770

  • two separate PCs for the most part. I used udev rules to have Ctrl L + Ctrl R switch my input between devices

  • pipe wire and udev rules. However audio is painful I actually used a USB physical switch to pass through things from host or VM. I would just pass through a USB controller to the VM and those USB ports on the back would be exclusively for the vm

Get the Nvidia 555 beta drivers or you'll have flickering. There's Nvidia specific config in the hyprland docs as well. In addition, if it's a newer card make sure you disable the onboard firmware via Kernal params.

I have been using hyprland for a while and just switched to using my Nvidia card yesterday. Been running well so far.
