Hi guys, basically as the title says I want to make external SSD drive with Windows to go for the stuff that I really need Windows for unfortunately (proprietary CAD software) but there is no software for making this on Linux that I can find

    In my case it’s been hardware acceleration. Sure I can make the adobe suite “run” but it’s not really usable at a professional level without hardware accel.

      Single GPU or dual GPU laptop?

      Have you looked at libvf.io?

      virtio-gpu (if you look to the more recent work) has made big strides, but I also wouldn’t consider it “ready”.

          Take a look, and consider one more option (I have this setup in one of my workstations).

          A second GPU. Older is fine, I have an older quadro 2000 in one machine thats great for cad, when I load up my VM for AutoCAD architecture, thats the GPU its using.

          I have a few others with quadro 620s in them, the Intel iGPU is accessed shared by being an lxc, the quadros I pass through to the VMs. Some need very different configs, so I only power up the VM when I need it, so they can all use the same passed through GPU.
