How is this different than gVisor&#x27;s nvproxy? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gvisor.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;user_guide&#x2F;gpu&#x2F;#compatibility" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gvisor.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;user_guide&#x2F;gpu&#x2F;#compatibility</a><p>Edit: nvproxy is mentioned as the &quot;direct inspiration&quot; in the readme without mention of how this is different or why it doesn&#x27;t use nvproxy as a backend.

Amazing project! But man, that README is just a textbook example of LLM word salad. It&#x27;s wild how these tools are so incredibly capable at many things, but their writing sticks out like a sore thumb

Can this be used with a Windows guest?
