Can you explain what part of emulating windows is "freedom" compared to just booting windows in the first place?
>>
>>54545944
How about you google this shit up? Is it so hard to read up on virtualization?
You will learn something useful for first time in your life too.

>>54544813
Shit thread, old video, you need specific hardware that supports PCI passthrough, 2 gpus and 2 monitors, gaymes suck, grow the fuck up manchildren, OP is a fag. Saged.

>>54546249

This isn't even emulating Windows. It's straight up running Windows. OS is loaded into a virtual machine. Requires valid license or hack. Direct Windows code runs etc.

It takes a particular set of skills to use linux. Skills the average person doesn't have. This is greatest barrier linux must overcome in order to capture a greater share of the desktop market.

I do this on Arch with an R9 Fury GPU passed through. It works really well, I did some comparisons on FPS numbers and there was actually no difference at all. Pic related. Nice to have games on one monitor and comfy linux environment on the other without needing two machines.

>>54545931
It's not that bad, Arch wiki and forums are a good resource. The biggest issue was I had to flash a new bios to the Fury to use OVMF as UEFI GOP booting didn't work out the box.

>>54546291
>2 gpus
Most people have two gpus, one discrete, one integrated, which works.

>and 2 monitors
Or one with multiple inputs.

>gaymes suck, grow the fuck up manchildren
Windows VMs are also useful for software that's not on linux like solidworks, with better performance than compatibility layers like wine.

Hilarious winiggers btfo, windows is not just another app that runs on linux.

Imagine being so delusional that you think using windows on top of Linux makes you superior when you could just be using windows by itself.
