Why is Fusion 10 virtualization technology lagging by 5 years ?   I know the hardware is capable of IOMMU passthrough.  I built an Ubuntu 17.10 install on a thunderbolt attached 480GB SSD for my MacPro6,1.   It works fine.    I have libvirt running, enabled iommu, I also made the necessary configuration changes to support Falcon Ridge Thunderbolt.  I  enabled IOMMU and gpu passthrough.I use my AMD D700 compute GPU for graphics in my VM.  I guess I'll be going with Linux as my primary os and run macos on libvirt.   I have my thunderbolt connected eGPU on 10.11.6 and I am just about done getting the egpu running on Ubuntu 17.10

 

 

 

I think Vmware should take another look at supporting IOMMU passthrough on MacOS.
