    Thanks for showing the debug.log on the VOD, it made it very easy for me to see where it went wrong after you DMed me about the issue and a fix has already been published!
    Also about the USB controller passthrough from the bash version, it did nothing as it was meant for a planned integration with QuickEMU which has been shelved for now due to lack of feedback (hence the removal in the Go version, for now hopefully).
    Libvirt handles USB controller passthrough by default so the question is redundant there, QuickEMU does not handle USB Controller passthrough, hence the question in the bash version, which was a proof of concept version that also created an "example" config for QuickEMU.
    The Go version is a lot more maintainable compared to the bash version which relies on a lot of fancy grep and perl/sed usage and piping.
    However i suspected someone would rather have the bash version, so i made a snapshot branch of the last bash version on the github page (and it also has the same bug you found in this VOD)
    PS: bash version never asked about passing through nvme, that is handled in virt-manager, the only difference between the 2 versions is that the bash version asks about what usb controller to pass through, but does nothing with that information other than write an example file for QuickEMU. other than that they are identical and the code is identical under the hood.

      Unfortunately, I ran Quickpassthrough 2.0.2 on my Arch Linux install, and it broke my bootloader. I tried to follow Titus' steps to fix the broken MKINITCPIO but was unable to mount my partitions because for some reason the mount point does not exist. My Arch Linux is currently sitting on an NVMe Drive called nvme0n1 in lsblk. The drive only has 2 partitions, and i'm having trouble getting them mounted properly. I tried to follow Chris' steps in the video but he has 3 partitions in his boot drive so I am at a loss. I'm at the verge of calling it quits and just sticking to Windows because I really suck at this. If anybody can help lend me a hand that'll be great. Sorry @HikariKnight but your quick passthrough software is still causing issues.

      @@HikariKnight when I ran the command to install the .tar file it gave me a message that I needed to add “iommu=pt intel_iommu=on” to the grub.cfg. Afterwards I ran the file again for quickpassthrough, rebooted the system and then Arch just froze on startup. It would freeze at the grub boot loader. I hope this makes sense to you, sorry for being a newb at this. I really enjoy Chris’ videos and your work on the passthrough is awesome.

    I had to use this since I moved to Linux moving away from MS office was not an option for me, but I wonder why you need baremetal
    I now have about 20 vms, everything I need, you can do things with windows you really can't do in baremetal you can make open and close windows like you open and close a browser, i also have a shared storage between the VMs, gpo auto bootstrap of all the apps i need, it is a beauty

    im doing Windows 11 vm on virt manager using a laptop, and it's really good to try for you want to using windows for gaming and using linux as daily driver :). Im doing gaming like honkai star rail , genshin impact and editing video from vm using looking glass with hdmi dummy for low latency remote desktop from linux, and it's really good project so far. Maybe i want to try using quick passthrough next time. So far im doing with mutahar guides and really good setup until now. Hopefully you can continue this Qemu VM setup for another stream Chris.

      Do you have dynamic boost working on vm tho?

    Really looking forward to the Nvidia GPU passthrough.
    Great job with Lxappearance, i had the same problem on my KDE, i'll apply lxappearance as well.
    Can you go painfully slow on the CPU topology? I *think* i have 12 cores, should leave 2 cores for my host Linux?
    I *know* i have 18GB memory, could i still give my VMs 16384? Or should i go lower?
    Can you explain the pools? i have 250GB SSD (that hosts my linux) and a 2 TB spinning platter (that hosts my `/home`, store the qcows on that one or on SSD?
    That purple text in the XML editor in virt-manager is unreadable, I usually copy it to VScode

    I have an RX 580 that works MARVELOUSLY in Linux, even for 3D accelerated VMs using Fedora host/Fedora guest. When i try the same option for a Windblows vm guest, the graphics passthrough doesn't do $hit. It gives me the options to select the card in virtmgr, but it doesn't do anything "visually", so i have to revert back to QXL vs virtio.
    Any thoughts?

    i gave up on single passthrough, i just use the amd graphics for linux and then passthrough the nvidia card to windows instead, and then when windows shutsdown it hops back onto nvidia. other than that vming windows whole drive seems a good way to do it.
