 Windows XP | Okay, so it's not a Nix issue. | 11:18:31 |
| Windows XP | I'll wait until proper Plasma 6 release and try again.
Or maybe Cosmic (?). | 11:19:35 |

Okay, so it's not a Nix issue. Nope. Running on NixOS unstable with Steam, on Wayland + GNOME. | 11:42:17 |

 crushing-smite | I am very lost on how to set up looking-glass.
What are my prerequisites? Should I have some specific KVM setup? Could please someone guide on what my expected path should be? | 09:36:37 |
| K900 | You need two GPUs | 09:38:33 |
| K900 | And a motherboard/firmware with an actually working IOMMU | 09:39:42 |
| crushing-smite | That is all done | 09:44:37 |
| crushing-smite | next steps? | 09:44:41 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | Is the VM running? | 09:46:17 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | And does it recognise the GPU? | 09:46:47 |
| crushing-smite | I hadn't set up the VM yet. So that's my next step - a KVM with whatever configuration + make sure it recognizes the GPU? | 09:47:27 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Ah in that case follow one of the thousands of generic guides on how to do that | 09:48:08 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | KVM should be active already, check whether /dev/kvm is present | 09:48:22 |
| crushing-smite | Also, "recognise the GPU" in which context? | 09:48:40 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | See it as a PCIe device | 09:48:50 |
| crushing-smite | What component shoul drecognize it? The guest system? | 09:48:51 |
| K900 | You probably want to set up virt-manager or whatever | 09:48:53 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Yes | 09:48:59 |
| K900 | And configure it to forward the GPU to the VM | 09:48:59 |
| K900 | And then install Windows in the VM | 09:49:03 |
| K900 | And then install the Looking Glass server on it | 09:49:11 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | (Or Linux) | 09:49:12 |
| crushing-smite | Well, this sounds rather straight-forward | 09:49:15 |
| K900 | In reply to@atemu12:matrix.org
(Or Linux) Do they have a Linux version of the server? | 09:49:33 |
| K900 | They didn't last time I tried it | 09:49:39 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | The dude who makes it uses it to access Linux VMs | 09:49:54 |
| crushing-smite | I would like to post 2 sample configs though, to get second opinion:
- https://github.com/whimbree/nixos-configuration/tree/main/megakill - is very dense on configuration, which for most part does not tell me anything - I don't know what all those terms are
- https://gist.github.com/CRTified/43b7ce84cd238673f7f24652c85980b3 PLUS https://github.com/CRTified/nur-packages/tree/master/modules - same as above, but it seems all this virtualization stuff was made to be exposed as a simple (not so simple?) to configure module
