[USER=151666]@gpnash[/USER]: Core would be for the smaller attack surface (and maybe save some GB on the SSD) but indeed probably it isn't worth it.
GPU pass-trough was possible I thought in 2016 (haven't checked it again) but other things will probably have to use USB or network, as seems to be evidenced by the other experiences in this thread.
I choose the virtualisation setup so I could add machines/devices as needed (like cacheguard appliance) and vith VM's and RDP/VNC it would be cheaper than replacing perfectly fine 7-8 year old laptops in the family. Not to mention vastly superior performance/hardware utilisation than with brand new separate laptops.

Cool you do this for a job! I realized already doing this stuff requires several hours a day every day to do it smoothly. Doing this in my free time is actually more than I can chew...

Interesting about the latency: I suspect I have this issue with my current setup, aldough inside a VM MP2.1 clients run a lot more smooth than on the native host. (My guess is now that the host mp2.1 client uses one of the wrong network interfaces. It works, but with severe sync and blockyness issues.)
