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.

I used the Arch instructions on Ubuntu 22.04 wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_p… and it worked, but broke on 24.04 owing to broken UEFI bios on 24.04.
Indeed. That’s the opposite of what I’m looking for though. That’s complicated and apparently breaks ?
I’m currently dual booting. Which works fine. I was wondering if there was an easier way though.
With Proxmox on AMD gpus, it can be as simple as picking a pci device from a dropdown.
-- but then again, you'll need to learn how to properly use proxmox, esp. with respect to storage configuration. Also, the performance can still suffer, depending on various factors.
If it's not too big of an inconvenience, dual boot is the way to go, IMHO.
@walthervonstolzing @shapis I personally use kvm/qemu but whatever works for you.
That's all proxmox does too, just provides a gui and management tools.
@shapis It's complicated to setup but once done works wonderfully, you can share one GPU between OS's in real time, even have one windows window up along with Linux at the same time. So I'm temporarily fuxored but I already have a plan for a fix and that is simply to steal the UEFI vm bios from Manjaro which does work and use it on Ubuntu.
