@thingsiplay Ok well I've been doing this for as long as Grub has been a thing (since retiring lilo) without an issue, so not sure why it is a problem for someone you know but I'm going to stick with probably operator error.

@thingsiplay Again, I've been doing this for many years without problems. If it's interfering it's most likely operator error.

@halfapage I'm saying from experience, nothing I could not get to run in a VM that ran in a physical machine.

@thingsiplay @metaStatic Normally I use grub on one drive to launch all of the OS's from a boot menu.

@variants @shapis Not true, a root-kit will break it in wine because wine is just translating windows sys calls into Linux sys calls, but a vm is actually running a windows kernel, then the root kit anti-cheat works fine. With GPU pass through, I have found no games that work under Windows won't also work within the VM.

@KazuchijouNo Well again as I stated, I haven't had an issue since going to UEFI in 2012, that's 12 years so problems, and I also had a VM because it allowed me to move between Linux and Windows more easily but Ubuntu broke the vm uefi bios in 24.04, I do have a Manjaro machine which works (based on Arch) so am going to steal the bios off of it to get it working again.

@YaBoyMax I've heard differently from a Microsoft insider, but since I don't know if it was told to me in confidence or not, I am not going to name names.

@JoMiran @shapis CPU pass through isn't JUST the function of the hypervisor, the host os, guest os, gpu drivers, and uefi bios ALL play a role.

@metaStatic @datavoid @KazuchijouNo @dsilverz As I previously stated, I have NEVER had to do this with UEFI bios. Early versions of Windows 10 had a tendency to create a new EFI partition instead of using the existing one and that could be problematic but even that is no longer an issue.

@walthervonstolzing @shapis I personally use kvm/qemu but whatever works for you.

@shapis It's complicated to setup but once done works wonderfully, you can share one GPU between OS's in real time, even have one windows window up along with Linux at the same time. So I'm temporarily fuxored but I already have a plan for a fix and that is simply to steal the UEFI vm bios from Manjaro which does work and use it on Ubuntu.

@dsilverz Never been an issue for me, I keep good backups so not really worried about it.
