    No, it doesn't. The support isn't there for other OSes (yet).

    You won't be able to do viable GPU pass-through for quite some time and even then, it will not work like you think.

    Windows and Linux support Intels iGPU. I don't believe that either supports the M1 gpu since Apple certainly does not support those OSes on their hardware.

    It does, macOS guests have access to the paravirtualized Metal device.
