Virgil 3D GPU project VS Gallium OS

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 literally did some web dev work on my Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 (released 2012) last week. It's running linux[1] at this point (since it's EOL), and is a little slow, but it's still perfectly functional for running vscode and a local webserver. (As others have pointed out, browsing the reset of the bloated web is a pain, though) [1] https://galliumos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

What exact model HTPC do you have? I found this so far.... Https://galliumos.org/. Source: 12 months ago

Rather than Ubuntu I would suggest galliumos[0] [0] https://galliumos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I apologise in advance; I have no idea what is causing this issue with your Chromebook. I had hoped I could be of assistance, but I am unable to. I hope that whatever issue you were having with your Chromebook has been resolved. If you want to install Linux on your Chromebook, try GalliumOS. Source: about 1 year ago

Install RW Legacy Boot and load up a full Linux distro and just use your laptop like a Linux laptop. https://mrchromebox.tech/#home and https://galliumos.org/...getting way more janky and complicated now... Source: about 1 year ago
