As of this post, a few days ago, the project for the Firefox sync server appears to be abandoned and has been put into archive mode on github. Just as a heads up. I doubt we'll be seeing any future updates, and would be very cautious using it.

Thanks for the breakdown! To clarify a bit though, the goal isn't to have the 2 VMs, I already do have them! Its more a question of being able to stop one and resume on the other without a reboot. This is a very reasonable idea that I could definitely check out! The one reason why this won't be the soul fix is resource distribution, as the GPU passthrough VM takes up way more of the system resources, my hope is to swap between them without having to "lose my spot" (reboot) while, when not using it, the system resources are freed up. Yes, definitely using colloquialisms. But yea, the goal is very much "suspend VM, free up system resources, but save state and be able to resume state on other VM if possible"

Hey guys, I have a weird usecase that I wanted to run by you folks to see if what I want is even really possible. Right now I have 2 VMs setup that point at the same virtual disk, both are Pop! (obviously) but they have different hardware configurations, one has a GPU passthrough, more ram and CPU, and more sound card options, the other is setup with VNC only, no GPU, no sound, less ram and CPU cores as well. I want to know if its possible to switch between these two configurations without having to fully shut down or spin up the hard disk? I don't much care if we have to change the configuration on the whole, like if its settings within a single VM instead of two, but the goal is to be able to stop working on the disk remotely, then when I sit down to my computer, resume my workflow on the desktop with all the power of the full VM, or vice versa, with the ability to leave the desktop but pick up with the VNC deploy without having to lose my spot by fully shutting down. I know that this may be a really weird ask, and might not be possible, I'm all ears on possible solutions to get the net result though! Thanks! Cheers, Waffleophagus

Were you able to figure this out? This is exactly what I'm trying to do and am coming up blank so far.

Hey guys! I'm building a new machine for unraid that will be my main machine, and am trying to decide between AMD and Nvidia GPUs right now with this crazy market and have found a decent deal on an AMD 6000 series, but am looking at my existing machine and have stumbled across some docker containers that I don't want to cut myself off from, namely https://docs.frigate.video and https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace I've done a good bit of digging around, and haven't found anything to see if they utilize cuda cores or if its really just hardware video encoding/decoding. If its the latter, I can either pull out a *really* old GPU from the closet, or try and find a second small card (1050?) on ebay and have it be a dedicated transcoding card down the line and just focus on getting the best card for the money at the moment. Right now I am not going to be doing anything with those projects, just transcoding on plex, which I know would be nice for a GPU, but not necessary. Thanks a ton! Waffleophagus

Thank you all for the feedback, ended up going with AMD for this build. Hope you guys have the best of luck with Alder Lake!

Hey at the risk of derailing the conversation a bit, has anyone attempted to do tests to see how well the Windows 11 scheduler deals with passing in a mixture of both P and E cores? How well it handles it? I know that a lot of folks just pass through all the P cores for gaming and what not, but I would love to see more data to see how/if kvm has gotten better at allocating the different cores to the host OS's scheduler. Thanks!
