Debian as Guest OSs on interactive GUI workloads
Hi,
I am trying to run Debian as guest OS, and for that purpose
Cloud images don't quite have all I need.
Things I would like are things like:
- wayland integration (right now we have out-of-Debian solution for plumbing through wayland over virtio protocols with some userland support) [3]
- IME support[1] that uses host side IME to input but the guest side able to use it.
- virtio-snd for sound passthrough [2]
- GPU support for graphics acceleration, changes to mesa to accomodate what is needed.
Right now we're building our own kernel and building OS image via
debootstrap [4] and adding some massaging. Noah's suggestiong was try
making a debian cloud image fork with a configuration that would work
reasonably well as a starter so we can think about how to
integrate. Any pointers?
