    Half this guide is disabling unwanted features that come as a result of choosing Windows 10 home.

    Why not run LTSC 2021and then MAS instead?

    As a benefit you get access to group policy, which I would argue is not an unwanted feature if you want greater control over the OS. Lots of options are locked there.

    Doesn’t that do graphics in software? I suppose for optimal software you’d need hardware acceleration for that, or does libvirtd pass that through automatically these days?

      honestly, i don’t know. if you’re talking about virtIO with 3d acceleration, i can’t make it function. if you’re talking about gpu passthrough by adding a pci hardware, that’s an option that i have not tried yet.

        Hmmh. I mean I mostly play old games and they tend to work better in Wine/Proton anyway, so I don’t have a virtualized Windows. I ran into some annoyances with other operating systems though, since most mundane desktop environments do lavish graphics these days. Or I’d randomly watch a Youtube video in a guest system and that’d use a lot of CPU with a recent codec and full HD or more… I guess all of this really depends on what people do with their virtualized machines, though.
