I've been following this thread, and interested in others' experiences. I tried to experiment with NetBSD, OpenBSD, GhostBSD in VMs, but my main PC is mostly used for desktop and gaming. I recently moved from Win11 to CachyOS and it's mostly a huge improvement, most apps and games run great and I like the desktop experience with KDE. Running say NetBSD, would I be able to have a CachyOS or Windows VM with GPU pass-through? Would that run games well?

@skylark13 @jessienab @lanodan afaik GPU pass-through is not supported right now, but I have looked into it and it seemed at least theoretically possible to implement without any corporate backing/multi year time investment. So that might be an option in the future if someone implements it.
Another option might be to use a hypervisor and run both NetBSD and Linux on top; I have not researched this option, mostly because all the powerful hypervisors I know about are slop, but perhaps I should. I'll report on it if I'll get to it
