Hello all,
The macOS KVM runs very poorly as I have 7mb of VRAM and cannot passthrough a GPU as I have only an iGPU so I was wondering what if we could remove the GUI in linux and passthrough the iGPU to macOS and use the KVM as the main OS. Is this possible?

Hello,
First you'll have to check if your iGPU is compatible with MacOS ( https://support.apple.com/en-au/102859 && https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/ )
Next, find a guild online or on YouTube there a few good guilds ( Such as this guild but this can be applied to this repo instead https://youtu.be/_JTEsQufSx4?si=JHz0IIxtzNqEH1gU )

My iGPU is not supported in macOS (I've an alder lake CPU), can I spoof the GPU ID or something in the vm?

"All of the iGPUs for these CPUs are unsupported, as they are Xe based." Daytona.
And other sources say that its not possible, you may be able to spoof it but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what your doing.

I would try it in a separate linux partition and share the results if successful
