Exactly; if there's something on windows you "cant give up" then just spin up a VM and run it in there.
Unless you can’t pass through a GPU if you need one… or the program you are running has some VM detection that won’t let it run in a VM
Spoken like someone who has never tried it. Thats quite literally exactly what vfio mentioned above me is for.
From what I can tell, that won’t work for me… using a laptop with a dedicated Nvidia 2060 but no iGPU on the i7 (also pretty sure the HP uefi bios doesn’t support iommu)
Thanks for the suggestion though!
