Can anyone tell me if GPU pass through is available for any of the mainstream VM tools like VirtualBox, VMware on ubuntu or windows host? Last I checked, it was not possible. Has anything changed?
You can not just pass through, but share any^1^ gpu you like using HyperV. Yes it's Win10Pro, but there are pleeeeenty of ways to get it enabled/installed/supported on Home as well. Though if you have an Nvidia card 20 series or older, and you're willing to dive into linux as a dual boot, I'd say qemu/virt-manager is a pretty mainstream VM solution, and vGPU is also a good tech for the same purpose.
~1~ I'm not actually sure what the limits on hyperv are but it seems fairly robust. Don't quote me on it lol

Why would anyone running Linux even have an Nvidia card?
Some people can’t afford to immediately buy an amd card when they switch to Linux
Because I rely on cuda.
