Greetings
Is there anyone that has managed to create linux vms with 3d acceleration without resorting to GPU passthrough ?, specifically with KVM/QEMU, I am not familiar with virtualbox, vmplayer, and other virtualization software.
I took a look and found two projects:

https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/virgl.html

This is my hardware and os
OS: Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64
CPU: Intel i5-7400 (4) @ 3.500GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Right now I am using a GTX1050 with proprietary drivers but I plan to buy an AMD GPU so I can use open source drivers

Thanks a lot in advance
