No, it's not. evdev forces you to have your keyboard/mouse either fully captured or not, which is a pain if you're just working with a productivity suite. With LG's SPICE client in…

Indeed, AV vendors flag LG because the windows executable we host: 1) It's not a signed executable (FOSS project, signing is a PITA without corporate sponsorship) 2) Microsoft Defe…

Yup, this is a good option too, makes it easy to debug/diagnose when things go wrong with the guest VM too. Just note that not all multi-input monitors are equal though, a small mi…

Haha, yeah, it's why I like this handle, it's very rarely used anywhere. As for support, I do encourage people to join the Discord or head on over to the L1Techs forums as I won't …

Pretty much, lots of factors that are hardware dependent, such as how your motherboard assigns IOMMU groups come into play.

CS:GO works fine in a libvirt/KVM VM last I checked. As for Tarkov, see: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheBattlEye/status/12890276721867... Note that the game vendor selects what feat…

Yes, this works for many laptops but it depends on how the laptop is internally wired. We have many members that use their iGPU for Linux, and the dGPU for the VM.

Because some cheats use a VM environment to hide from detection as they can act on the VM from outside of it. The solution though is not to ban VMs, but to push vendors like AMD an…

"Almost" is the key word here, under a VFIO VM, it's 100% flawless.

The GPU is given to the guest, so the guest is driving the GPU directly making it a headless host.

If you want easy, this is not for you. Setting up LG first requires setting up a VFIO Virtual Machine. As for how viable it is, very... we have many members in our community that a…

Yes, unfortunately Valorant is one that blocks VM usage... not that it has helped them any.

1. We are working on it 2. Not if it's a vGPU or a Quadro where EDID spoofing is allowed 3. No, we capture everything now, even the windows Login screen and windows updates, etc. 4…
