Running Windows 10/11 Guest with GPU Passthrough using laptop running Fedora

Abstract

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

There is another comprehensive guide you can follow here (shoutout to asus-linux team who made supergfxctl which is a very important tool for this guide). It is more up-to-date than mine. I would probably incorporate those information into my guide, but you are welcome to use this one as a reference!

Before we proceed:

This guide is exclusively for Fedora users 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 you like to use Fedora than Arc

Why?

I got sick of writing the same Serializer & ModelViewSet classes over and over so I found and wrote some code to do it for me, and somehow it works! Please note that there are a lot of caveats to running an API like this and while this may work, I know there's A LOT of room for improvement, feel free to fork and help!

USAGE

Import the router module to your main sites urls.py file as the injection point like so... Make sure to remove any other imports from other viewsets that you don't need that may conflict!

cd /tmp
curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/session-manager-downloads/plugin/latest/linux_64bit/session-manager-plugin.rpm" -o "session-manager-plugin.rpm"
sudo dnf install -y session-manager-plugin.rpm # fails
sudo rpm-ostree install session-manager-plugin.rpm # fails

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

	# Based on https://gist.github.com/bastibe/c0950e463ffdfdfada7adf149ae77c6f
	# Changes:
	# * Instead of overriding cd, we detect directory change. This allows the script to work
	# for other means of cd, such as z.
	# * Update syntax to work with new versions of fish.
	# * Handle virtualenvs that are not located in the root of a git directory.
