  • Get 2 laptops, put them side by side with usb ports wide open and plug them bitches together. Likely will short with 5v being fed both sides.

    But in reality its a usb coupler (plugging together 2x usb extension cables). Not a great lot of use from them in my opinion. I’ve seen shit bodged together in low budget it offices using edge case crap like this.










  • I did this with proxmox. However I’m using a Nvidia gpu for passthrough. Was awhile ago I set it all up. I remember it being fairly complex. Here is a super basic instruction for it. Possibly incomplete.

    Check you have iommu enabled in efi/bios. (For Intel - enable vt-d)

    Install drivers if necessary (again nvidia)

    Blacklist device on proxmox host

    Setup GPU passthrough (vfio) - assign the card video and audio to the guest vm.

    Start vm and test

    If you are using onboard card, you can probably blacklist it and use it for your vm… I’m not entirely sure how proxmox deals with losing its primary display… I expect it’ll cope ok. SSH for everything. Probably need to use virtio drivers. Install within guest…

    Really… prob best hosting a media server and having a client on the TV end.
