    If we get VirtIO 3D acceleration in Windows guests from this, I’d be really happy.

      I found this: https://github.com/tenclass/mvisor-win-vgpu-driver

      But it is for another foss kvm based hypervisor called mvisor.

        There’s a WIP VirtIO driver in a PR but it’s not done yet. VMware’s own VMSVGA is open source if I remember correctly. I wonder if they’ll adapt it to KVM and if they do, whether that’ll be usable in KVM without VMware.

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.
