Basically the title. I’ve only ever seen huge 20 page guides on how to make it work. Is there an easy way?

Specifically on Debian or Arch with a laptop with two gpus (zephyrus g14)

    I also don’t know if there’s any Linux program that will automatically do the configuration for you.

    It seems like it would be pretty complex since I guess you need to disable the linux host from using the GPU, and do PCI passthrough in a VM that has Windows installed.

    And there’s still the problem of the graphics needing to move around the system in order to get to the display instead of the display being directly connected to the GPU.

    Seems like a pretty cool thing that would be neat to have a nice automated GUI solution for.

    I was just looking at, seems like it’s difficult but not impossible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTWf5D092VY

    I’m in the same boat that it seems too difficult (and I bet the performance still isn’t near native).

    I just dual boot and boot into Windows if I’m going to play a game.

      This is all addressed by the Linux kernel and xml code specifying it for the VM.

      And there’s still the problem of the graphics needing to move around the system in order to get to the display instead of the display being directly connected to the GPU.

      Again handled by the kernel and qemu, just requires a bit of XML code in the vm description. Not a big deal.
