NVIDIA unlike AMD do not seem to suffer from the same stability issues as AMD
GPUs when operating as a passthrough GPU, however due to the closed source
nature of their drivers NVIDIA can not make use of the DMABUF feature in the
Linux kernel and as such it is not recommended for use as the host GPU.
`It has been said <https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/discussions/243#discussioncomment-3283415>`_
that the open-source NVIDIA drivers as of release 525 will enable this support
and we have made changes to `an experiemental branch <https://github.com/gnif/LookingGlass/tree/dmabuf-test>`_
to support this, however until NVIDIA release this version and we can test these
changes against the driver, support will not be included in the release builds
of Looking Glass.
Linux kernel unless you use the open source NVIDIA drivers.
