  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I've been on mint for a while. Here's a tip for anyone who needs some windows apps that won't work in Linux.

    VM workstation 17 is free and is fast as balls. With plug and play pass through too.

    Why would you want that on Linux? We already have qemu KVM which can be used via libvirt. Just install virtual manager and be done with it.

    The speed you are seeing is the same as KVM

    Slow down. VMware can be one click and done. All these alternatives and extras and configurations are the reason windows people don't try Linux. Don't over complicate a simple thing. If they want new or more they can figure that out at a later date.

    VMware is much harder to setup as it requires additional setup

    You just install virt-manager and reboot. That's it.

    sudo apt install virt-manager

    VMware requires you to click on the downloaded install and click yes a bunch of times before it's finished.

    Exactly. That's way more complicated and requires loading external software not packaged by distros. Meanwhile virt manager is very easy to install and it is in the repos pretty much everywhere. You also could use gnome boxes as it doesn't even need root. It is just a flatpak

    Any clue how it handles Illustrator?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Unfortunately not. But I'd imagine flawless. You know of a free way to test?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    I'll give it a shot!

    Can you test. paint.net for me

    Lol really? Edit: oh! My bad thought this was something else. Gimme a minute I'll run through it
