I aimed to set up a KVM on your OpenSuse Tumbleweed Plasma 5.13.3. You have an HD5450 for the OS and a GTX1070 for the KVM, but there’s no clear documentation about Tumbleweed supporting KVM. I followed the steps you tried but hit a roadblock. You might need to switch to OpenSuse Leap instead.

Consider broader KVM configuration resources instead of OpenSUSE-specific instructions. The only distro-dependent parts involve installing software. Other aspects such as IOMMU group setup are generally compatible across systems.

Yes, I found something. I've completed the essential steps and now have the VM manager (though I don't know why I had it before). However, the issue is that Hypervision can't connect to the socket at '/run/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock' because the directory isn't found. Also, installing libvirt-bin returns an error saying it's not installed.

Set up the entire libvirt package instead of just the binary.

That's correct, but the issue remains unresolved.

Check the status of the libvirt daemon to confirm it is active.

How do I verify the status? I’m just starting with Linux after three years on Windows. If it’s not working, what steps should I take to enable it?

Look for the process ps -ef | grep libvirtd. If nothing appears, it may not be running. Attempt to launch it using service start libvirtd or systemd systemctl start libvirtd.service

Sure, I’ll review that for you. You can likely run Windows 10 alongside your dual boot setup, including using it for KVM with GPU pass-through. For the Steam library, a secondary full drive works well in the KVM environment. Just make sure your hardware supports it.

KVM isn't available for Windows; it's a Linux feature. Some virtualization tools work on Windows but I'm unclear about GPU passthrough. If you're using a full hard drive rather than just a partition, yes, it might be possible. You could even run the VM guest directly on that drive.
