Short answer - NO. The whole point of a VM is to be isolated from the host. That's why you need SPICE or sunshine to get the VM screen. |

Newbie sunshine user here. I am not new to *nix, but definitely new to modern linux devices and graphics stack, so I don't know if this question is inherently silly or what...
Here's the scenario:
Headless Linux Host with KVM and a single GPU
I have seen several threads about using sunshine inside of those VMs, but I was curious about simplifying/lowering the overhead if possible. I am only going to be using 1 VM at a time, so can sunshine execute at the host level and still be able to see what is passing through to the GPU on the running VM? I'm not sure if that would keep any of the low level PCI device(s) still "In use" and cause the passthrough to fail? Is this even architecturally possible?
Now that. think about this, it would also have to support "passthrough" of controller/keyboard/mouse input ( not to mention audio output ) . I am starting to think this is unlikely, but keeping fingers crossed! Thank you!
