I already used QEMU which was a heck more complicated than VirtualBox, although I got MacOS Big Sur running with acceptable speed at the end. Sadly no-joy with NVidia single GPU passthrough in the apple garden. But I plan to do it for Windows 10 because I want that fucking 1TB NVMe that the big ass of my Windows install is hibernating on for the second year.
What GPU are you using and if it’s Nvidia, was it difficult to enable?
I use the free version for my Win10 VM. It works well, plus it’s super easy to share folders between guest and host. I’m not sure about 3D though, I use it for Photoshop & Illustrator.
If only Virtualbox 7 didn’t fuck up 3D acceleration.
QEMU has native 3D support.
Hmm, that sounds good. After all, it seems I’ll have to learn using QEMU soon anyway.
Read the arch docs and setup the virt-manager and you’ll have windows in a VM faster than virtualbox at near native speeds.
Isn’t that only for Linux guests?
Nope it’s passthrough.
Don’t you need a second GPU for passthrough?
Nope you just can’t switch in and out once the GPU passthrough starts.

How about VMware?
I didn’t try that one yet.
