After you have virt manager installed. Have a look at HikariKnight's guide for the PCI passthrough part https://github.com/HikariKnight/quickpassthrough

So I was following it and feel like Ive done it all but then I get this error
Heres the details:
Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: host doesn't support passthrough of host PCI devices'

Also idk if this helps at all but I have a single GPU that im trying to pass through to virt manager. So im using this one gpu for my bare metal and vm
you typically need 2 GPUs for GPU passthrough sadly
Ahhh I was afraid that was the case. Thank you for the quick response. Ill continue to dual boot windows and bazzite for now
What game are you trying to play that has your stuck with a dual boot?
Not any game specifically. Just wanted the convenience of being able to switch between OSs while I get used to Linux. Also I prefer the video editors on windows. Not a big deal tho since I can just dual boot
Appreciate the help
no problem

almost all of the logic of quickpassthrough is in
ujust setup-virtualization but tailored to ublue
Good to know. Thank you 🙂
