Access Your Gaming PC's RTX 5070 from a Separate Linux Workstation

I run my development on a Linux box while my RTX 5070 sits in a Windows gaming machine. By turning the gaming PC into a headless Linux GPU server via WSL2 and SSH, I get full CUDA access without dual-booting. This setup lets me train models and search images remotely while keeping the Windows machine ready for gaming.

Best of both worlds: Windows keeps the games, Linux gets the CUDA.

    This is SSH into a remote Linux VM that has the GPU attached.

    Could you share this script?

    Also how is your experience with actually using the VM? Can you get most/all of the GPU resource? Is it fully passing the GPU through?
