Virgil 3D GPU project VS Crouton & Kali Linux

Again I might be wrong, since I have not looked into it long. But I think that the GPU support in Crostini is only for hardware acceleration. Not for video decoding. I think they use (https://virgil3d.github.io/) which has no video adapter functionality. Source: almost 2 years ago

I'd assume that it doesn't, while passthrough exist on KVM, it still requires the actual drivers to be installed on the emulated OS and mobile handset drivers are usually proprietary blobs. The APIs could be translated to a generic driver that works on the OSs though, something like https://virgil3d.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

I learned recently that there is a project for QEMU: https://virgil3d.github.io/ This does about what you are asking for, has a different approach but is probably not as performant. Source: about 2 years ago

GPU paravirtualization of 3D acceleration is still not really yet available in any virtualization/emulation platform. So for now we've stuck with passthrough. Source: about 2 years ago

A guest in vmd(8) may enter 32-bit mode, but has no graphical display; Civilization IV would need a graphical display with 3D acceleration. VirGL provides such acceleration for Linux guests in qemu, but doesn't exist in vmd. Source: over 2 years ago

I'm guessing GP means natively, not in a VM. I've been super grateful for the VM-based method, but I still prefer the native experience like that provided by Crouton[1]. With Crouton being "maintenance-only" now I share GP's hope that a similar thing will be possible and easy. [1]: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Go to the github of crouton they have instructions there Https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. Source: 10 months ago

At any rate, you can try Breath, Crouton, Manjaro... Those are three of the distros people have found success with. It all boils down to the specific hardware involved... Which we know nothing about since you kept that to yourself. Source: 11 months ago

Post in r/crouton and refer to https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton if you haven't already. However, I think it's fair to say that Crouton is now broken to the point of being effectively dead. Source: 11 months ago

Crouton is no longer developed and this is the wrong sub but check r/Crouton and/or https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton. Source: about 1 year ago
