Hi folks,
One question I have is is it possible to create a USB connection between 2 VMs?
For example in a real word situation..
I have a phone, I plug it into my PC.
I want that same functionality for 2 VMs, plugging one VM into another by USB cable in that exact same way.
Thus creating Android VMs to be able to plug into a Windows or other VM to enable USB functionality.
Is this poossible?
If so, how would I go about achieving the desired result please?
If not, could it be possible in near/future updates?
If so, how long?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Drew.

I don't think this is supported by (or planned for) Qubes for security
reasons. Instead, we have qrexec and RPC services, which you can read

Thanks Andrew,
Much appreciated for the response.
I wish that it was something that if someone knew how to create a USB loopback from
VM to VM, then that would be fantastic. Noit only for me, but for many many other
developers out there that would love to have something just like this working.
