I also don’t know if there’s any Linux program that will automatically do the configuration for you.

It seems like it would be pretty complex since I guess you need to disable the linux host from using the GPU, and do PCI passthrough in a VM that has Windows installed.

And there’s still the problem of the graphics needing to move around the system in order to get to the display instead of the display being directly connected to the GPU.

Seems like a pretty cool thing that would be neat to have a nice automated GUI solution for.

I was just looking at, seems like it’s difficult but not impossible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTWf5D092VY

I’m in the same boat that it seems too difficult (and I bet the performance still isn’t near native).

I just dual boot and boot into Windows if I’m going to play a game.

For images, you can use a photo library application like digikam and set tags on the files, which are saved both to a relational database and to the photo metadata inside the image file. For other file types I don’t think there’s anything standard.

I think it might store tags in linux file system xattrs so other software (or scripts) could access and index it.

I guess it switched desktop environments on you? If you’re logged out there’s supposed to be a way you can switch between desktop environments. It makes sense that the GNOME Settings app would only change wallpaper settings for GNOME, which I think is the main Ubuntu desktop environment. Are you sure you didn’t upgrade to a version of Ubuntu that uses XFCE instead of GNOME?
