Roy, If you do not mind me asking, what is the make and model of the Video card (GPU) that will be in the new workstation? Will you be using two GPUs in the computer?
I would also be interested in knowing what brand and type of CPU is in the computer. These will affect virtualisation software. Do you know what do you want to achieve with virtualisation software? Do you want to just run CLI interfaces to virtualised servers? Will you want to run Windows or Linux with GUIs like KDE Plasma or Gnome using X11 and/or Wayland? Do you want to watch video from the guests (i.e. virtual machines) ? Will you want to hear sound from the virtual machines ? Do you want to run any 3D programs and/or games running within the virtual machines ? Do you want to be able to do GPU passthrough for any specific virtual machines? Do you want to implement nested virtualisation so you can run virtualised hypervisors? George. On Sunday, 22-12-2024 at 04:44 Roy J.
