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.

GPU passthrough is awesome where needed and practical but it's not an option for many setups and often it's not needed. Basic graphics acceleration is useful to get the user interface of Windows to behave nicely. To have using MS Excel not feel like you haven't installed your graphics driver. With Windows on KVM the missing bit is just the Windows drivers for virtio graphics. On Linux, the drivers are already there and Linux on KVM has basic graphics acceleration. That's all I wish for. 🥹 AFAIK there's an active PR for the Windows virtio graphics driver but it's not done yet.
