Abstract

This is a full guide for people who wanted to setup Windows 10/11 VM with QEMU/KVM hypervisor for laptops that configured with hybrid graphics card like Intel/AMD + NVIDIA. This process will take about 1 to 2 hours, depending on your system's performance.

Before we proceed:

• This guide is exclusively for Fedora because this distro is quite different to set up than other distro such as Arch. I would say Arch is easier to setup than Fedora, but sometimes your prefer Fedora than Arch in terms of its usage & features.
• This tutorial mostly focus on laptops with NVIDIA Optimus MUXed configuration when dGPU (dedicated GPU) can connect directly to HDMI/DP output. If in doubt, search "VR-Ready laptops", as those are definitely MUXed.
• For MUXless configuration which the dGPU share display alongside with iGPU (integrated GPU), you may need to extract your system's vBIOS for your card to avoid getting no output from your screen. Refer [here](#blank-screen-output-when-i-passthrough

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.

Things can get a bit weird when you have various old installs of MySQL server floating around, and utilizing homebrew to install and upgrade MariaDB as a drop in replacement for MySQL has worked well, especially if you're used to managing MySQL installs via yum in linux.

First: Backup Your Data!

Backup all of your current databases with mysqldump

This isn't a tutorial on backups, and there are many ways to do it. You should know how to backup your data anyway. For this example, we'll do a full backup of our InnoDB databases.
