Description
I setup PCI passthrough on voidlinux by using various r/voidlinux reddit posts. I would like to formally document the process.
- Installing required packages
- Document isolating video card for pci passthrough (dracut and grub)
- Loading amd/intel iommu
- Document configuring virt-manager
Extra:
- Configuring scream for painless audio
@HadetTheUndying can maybe review the guide.
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/17225 must be merged before I can begin this guide.
The guide would only feature void specific issues when configuring PCI passthrough and link to archwiki for anything that's more general.
Is this guide appropriate for the handbook?

Research direction
Review the checklist in this issue along with void-linux/void-packages PRs 20540 and 17225, then inspect the handbook structure for an appropriate guide location. Done means a Void-specific PCI passthrough guide covers package installation, GPU isolation with dracut and GRUB, AMD/Intel IOMMU, virt-manager, and Scream, while linking general material to the ArchWiki.
