Elias Mårtenson@rysiek sadly had to stop using Qubes OS because I need the GPU. Annoying, because it's really a phenomenal system.
@loke yeah, the GPU issue is a problem, no doubt. I've spent months trying to get a GPU working inside a VM once. Apparently some folks succeeded.
There is some work being done on this though. Maybe one day!
Emelia/Emi@rysiek @loke There's been a whole lot of work put into that fairly recently, in the form of virtio-gpu and "DRM native context" which should be GPU-independent. Though the issue with the latter is that it breaks the core isolation mode of qubes, by giving the guest pretty much direct access to a rather large amount of host kernel surface area.
@becomethewaifu @loke yup.
As long as that's opt-in and left to the user to enable, I think I am okay with it.
@rysiek @becomethewaifu yeah, if the alternative is not being able to use Qubes at all, that's a compromise I'm perfectly willing to accept.
I know there was work on it over a year ago (there was an interesting talk on the topic atvthe Qubes conference about two years ago). I haven't heard anything on the topic in the last year though, so I wonder if the work stalled.
