Hi, in VMware I'm stuck with LLVM as "renderer" , I heard it has terrible performance compared to Hyper-V, which I enabled on my windows pc, but apparently doesn't work in VMware nor in Virtualbox. How do I change to Hyper-V or a better "renderer"? It seems like this is the cause of bad vm graphic performance.

hyper-v is Microsoft's hypervisor, it's a competitor to VMware and virtualbox, not a renderer
llvm means it's using the cpu for graphics (software renderer)
did you check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware/Install_Arch_Linux_as_a_guest ?

Although this guide applies only if you install VMware on a linux machine..?

I don't think so. I didn't try it so I don't know exactly what you need for the graphics. maybe xf86-video-vmware on x11?

I apparently have to install arch again from scratch?
