The more easier to use the freshest possible software versions (qemu and kernel) - the better. Also, if you must patch your kernel, be sure it's easy to do so on your distro. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sep 5, 2015 7:16 PM, "Ira Morris" <<a href="mailto:IMorris@smartpathtech.com">IMorris@smartpathtech.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Just joined the mailing list as I have started experimenting with gpu pass through. I apologize if this question has been answered previously, or if I missed a FAQ with it. I'm just wondering if the differences in performance across distros is negligible, or if there are distros that perform better than others?
