not really, you shoud use virtualization software for it to work.

There is GPU passtrough with VMWare, you could also assign peripherals this way.

You can use a free trial of unRAID for like 30 days. That's how Linus did it the first time around.

unRAID is just KVM with a skin. You can use KVM (Free)

I had done this in my linux installation and performance in games in virtual windows was 95-96% of what it was in windows installed directly on a PC.

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

You can use debian/ubuntu/centos and use virtmanager to run vms instead of unraid.

No, freenas is completely and fundamentally different from unraid. Different kernels, different purposes. You can however use any linux distribution, as long as you know how to set it all up manually, and if you couldn't tell the difference between unraid and freenas I'm sorry but you probably don't.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

XenServer (http://xenserver.org/) is a free, open-source Hypervisor (that is bumped along VERY heavily by Citrix) that supports GPU passthrough (for certain GPUs - double check supported hardware list)

so, depending on your hardware, this is likely your best shot.

 

ps: I still have no idea why people here suggest unRAID when enterprise-class Hypervisors like VMware's ESXi and XenCenter are free.....

ESXi SysAdmin

I have more cores/threads than you...and I use them all
