Ubuntu 21.04 VM with GPU acceleration under Hyper-V...?

Ubuntu 21.04 VM with GPU acceleration under Hyper-V...?

Modern versions of Windows support GPU paravirtualization in Hyper-V with normal consumer graphics cards. This is used e.g. for graphics acceleration in Windows Sandbox, as well as WSLg. In some cases, it may be useful to create a normal VM with GPU acceleration using this feature, but this is not officially supported. People already figured out how to do it with Windows guests though, so why not do the same with Linux? It should be easy given that WSLg is open source and reasonably well documented, right?

Well... not quite. I managed to get it to run... but not well.

How to do it?

  1. Verify driver support

statement on event-stream compromise

Hey everyone - this is not just a one off thing, there are likely to be many other modules in your dependency trees that are now a burden to their authors. I didn't create this code for altruistic motivations, I created it for fun. I was learning, and learning is fun. I gave it away because it was easy to do so, and because sharing helps learning too. I think most of the small modules on npm were created for reasons like this. However, that was a long time ago. I've since moved on from this module and moved on from that thing too and in the process of moving on from that as well. I've written way better modules than this, the internet just hasn't fully caught up.

@broros

otherwise why would he hand over a popular package to a stranger?

If it's not fun anymore, you get literally nothing from maintaining a popular package.

One time, I was working as a dishwasher in a restu
