    Caveat: I don’t know you or your manager, so your experience may be very different.

    But as someone who has ended up in management in three previous roles (not currently) your post brought two thoughts to my mind:

    1. For me, I’d far rather people in my team came to me and were open about things. Don’t bottle it up and hope that they’ll somehow guess - they won’t. They’re not psychic and they’ve probably got 101 other things to worry about. Think of it like this: Could you do your job if nobody was ever honest with you about you previous days performance.

    2. If you’re tempted to default to thinking of line manager’s as the enemy, consider that in most cases they are just trying to do their best while shouldering 10x the shit from their manager than is making it through to you.

    Not saying there aren’t bad and/or narcissistic managers about, but I suspect most of the time they only appear that way due to the screws in their back from above.

    Single GPU with scripts that run before and after the VM is active to unload the GPU driver modules from the kernel.

    I think this was my starting point and I had to do just a few small tweaks to get it right for my setup - i.e. unload and reload the precise set of kernel modules that block GPU passthrough on my machine.

    At this point from a user experience p.o.v it’s not much different to dual booting, just with a different boot sequence. The main advantage though is that I can have the Windows OS on a small virtual harddrive for ease of backup/clone/restore and have game installs on a dedicated NVME that doesn’t need backing up

    I’ve been 100% linux for my daily home computing for over a year now… With one exception… To be honest I didn’t even try particularly hard to make gaming work under Linux.

    Instead I have a Windows VM - setup with full passthrough access to my GPU and it’s own NVME - just for Windows gaming. To my mind now it’s in the same category as running console emulation.

    As soon as I click shutdown in windows, it pops me straight back into my Linux desktop.
