The setup done by this script is quite complex and is prone to human error or hardware incompatibilities. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to make a backup/snapshot of your system using something like timeshift or snapper before starting. Once everything is configured, your 2nd graphic card will hopefully be dedicated for use inside a virtual machine. Press ENTER to continue once you have made a backup of your system. " read ENTER clear printf "This script assumes a few things: * You have already enabled IOMMU, VT-d and/or AMD-v inside your UEFI/BIOS advanced settings. * You are comfortable with navigating and changing settings in your UEFI/BIOS. * You know how edit your bootloader configuration. * Your Linux distribution is an EFI installation (important to get VFIO working). NOTE: If your computer no longer fully shut down after enabling IOMMU, then there is possibly a bug with your motherboard and a piece of hardware in your system, it only prevents you from using the system in a headless mode with working shutdown and is otherwise just an annoying quirk with IOMMU on some boards. This is a list of prerequisites you will be needing before starting with VFIO: * 2 GPUs (iGPU/APU included) * A \"ghost display\" dummy plug for your second graphic card (or having it hooked to a separate input on your monitor). * If you are planning to use the inegrated GPU on your CPU, make sure your monitor is connected to it before continuing. * Preferably a motherboard verified to work with IOMMU and with good IOMMU groups. https://reddit.com/r/vfio is a good resource for this info.
