    Thanks!! We do our best to keep the code as clean/readable as possible. The first version was a bit of a mess but we rewrote it again clean slate to improve over the first implemen…

    That depends on your use-case. In general I would recommend you consider purchasing Nvidia's GPUs for the best price/performance and GVM support. Intel's Xe architecture is current…

    We have Ampere support working on some devices (and it is in development on other Ampere devices) as well as 11th & 12th generation Intel Xe. :) Here's the GPU Support page if you'…

    Thanks!! We'll do our best to keep improving things for everyone. Hopefully security by compartmentalization folks benefit from our work as well. I'll be going to QubesOS Summit so…
