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 to have Gentoo running a Libvirt hypervisor, which would then run multiple short lived isolated windows and Linux machines with GPU passthrough for all the different companies and projects I was working on.
Spent far too much time keeping the guest machine images up to date, and all the configs and stuff managed and synchronised.
Then my laptop died that I was using to manage everything so I gave up.
A Qubes OS-like setup for windows machines. I like it. I do have an headless GPU ready in case I want to do such a thing.
Some tips? Were you running Windows 10? How was the performance?
Tips: don’t
Performance was ok. Lots of fiddling required on both host and guest to get performance close to native.
Couldn't you just use Proxmox or Debian at that point? Having a stable base seems easier.
The host was stable. And I was compiling the kernel for hardware and vfio reasons anyway, so why not compile everything and it’s not like there was a lot to compile.
