Hi everyone!
After watching Jorge’s YT videos I decided to jump from Endeavour OS to Aurora DX on my backup machine. My main machine is a MacBook Pro but I also like to use my backup machine (HP EliteBook 830 G5) for Linux tests and travelling.
So far the out-of-the-box experience is nice! I had to fix the [permissions for virt-manager](https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/issues/1273) but besides that, everything working great!
Even my headphone EQ works with “Easy Effects” as flatpak. I had that running as a normal package and was not aware that it works as a flatpak as well!
My wishlist now would be to:
1. Enable Intel iGPU passthrough to VMs (out-of-the-box or maybe someone can help to get this going)
2. Add [krdp](https://quantumproductions.info/articles/2024-06/krdp-plasma-61) to the settings menu. I was able to overlay it to the image and it runs from the commandline, but as far as I understand it should also show up in the setting menu.
Thanks again and maybe someone could help!

Since I can only add 2 links for now, here are the iGPU passthrough references:

Just wanted to chime in again with an update!
I switched from Aurora to Bluefin. This resolved the RDP issue but I had to work around two issues:
1. You have to Switch SELinux to permissive mode on the server and try connecting the client:
```auto
sudo setenforce 0
```
1. On the Mac Client you have to change `use redirection server name:i:1` in the RDP file.

Regarding iGPU passthrough I was successful as well!
Below is my initial config followed by two guides that should get you going!
## Virt-Manager
```bash
# Setup groups
ujust dx-group
# Fix permissions
sudo restorecon -rv /var/lib/libvirt/
sudo restorecon -rv /var/log/libvirt/
# Enable kvmfr for looking-glass
ujust configure-vfio kvmfr
```
## Intel GVT-g iGPU passthrough
```bash
# Check kernel args
sudo rpm-ostree kargs
sudo rpm-ostree kargs \
--append-if-missing="i915.enable_gvt=1" \
--append-if-missing="i915.enable_fbc=0" \
--reboot
```
### Loading the GVT-g modules at boot
Use your favorite text editor to create a file called `/etc/modules-load.d/kvm-gvt-g.conf` and place the following content in it:
```auto
kvmgt
vfio-iommu-type1
vfio-mdev
```
## Creating the virtual GPU
Follow this guide for creating and persisting the GPU:
> **[Tutorial: Passing an Intel GPU to a Linux/KVM Virtual Machine – Interesting...](https://blog.tmm.cx/2020/05/15/passing-an-intel-gpu-to-a-linux-kvm-virtual-machine/)**
## Edit XML of your VM to add the shared memory
```bash
sudo EDITOR=nano virsh edit Win11
# change domain
# add commandline options for shared memory
```
## Build looking-glass-client

Here’s a must-see video how this is done on Ubuntu 20.04:

I think that was all. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have questions!
