I do it mainly cos it makes managing lots of different environments easy. I can have windows and different Linux distros and different packages and cool shit all from one display manager.
1-2% is the overhead of virtualization. Hardware virtualization is Goated. And QubesOS uses Zen under the hood same as what’s used by aws etc so its well optimised.
And for GPU? For all I understand, everything but dom0 should still require GPU Passthrough to have any decent GPU performance. Does passthrough perform well? Also, am I right in understanding that if you have 2 GPUs or APU/GPU mix, you can only have GPU passed through to one VM, leaving other VMs on the mercy of the same device that renders dom0?

Doesn’t virtualization eat away a lot of performance? Or do you not care much about it?

Nice
@Allero Not if it’s hardware-accelerated. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a CPU without hardware virtualization, though.
