@frostclaw20 Fedora 24, started on 21, 3 years strong with no reinstall.

GDM + HLWM + GnomePie + Low Latency Kernel for Audio work

I also got PCI Passthrough working with it not too long ago. Promptly nuked my Win7 Dual Boot.

@seasharp ohhg that sounds nice? How did you get the pass through to work? I wanna use it with windows 7 on a vm

@frostclaw20 Lil bit of education from Wendell @ Level1Techs and a LOT of Google-Fu.

Essentially:
Figure out your PCI groups
Ensure your MoBo has Vt-d enabled (and any other relevant virt tech, check your chip maker)
Find a good wrapper script online (to detach card after boot and vfio attach before VM boot) and add your PCI group specs
Install your OS via virt-manager or virsh
Power off and add the passthrough devices
Run the wrapper, power up and watch Dmesg like a hawk.
