From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to use iGPU for VM passthrough and dGPU for the host? (lemm.ee)

Hi all,
I have all AMD and I wanted to try and set the integrated GPU for passthrough for VMs and leave the discrete one for my daily use. Is this doable? If so, how complicated would it be?
Processor: Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon vega integrated graphics card
GPU AMD RX 6600.
Thank you

I have the same processor and an RX570. I can pass through the dGPU to the VMs and keep the iGPU for the host, but the reverse was not possible for me.

Does the motherboard matter for this? Mine is not so fancy.

Welp, I do need my dGPU for my games. VM passthrough is just something I wanted to try

Since my iGPU and dGPU have more or less the same power, for me it made no difference which one I kept for gaming.

p.s. I game inside my VM, which gets the RX570 passed through to.
