Wait! The only selling point of those "AI" PCs runs on non "AI" pcs?

Switching to linux few years back is really fucking printing...

I was spending so much time cleaning up windows and then microshit would roll my settings back🤡

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's me. Never even made it to W11 but the fact that I had no autonomy over "my" computer really fucking irritated me.

I made this prediction before kind of joking, but I feel like it could still end up this way, where in the near future we’ll all be installing a FOSS AI after a fresh install whose sole job is to target the corpo AI’s on our local machines and continuously cripple them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

The guys using FOSS Ai would be the same guys using an operating system without an hostile Ai built in.

For FUCK sakes....

I have a 256GB SATA SSD machine here, that I want to put a fresh install of windows on a 1TB M.2

And NOW is the fucking time windows puts out this fucking Win11 24H2 garbage... that's BSOD'ing peoples computers, having other issues, and now this.

Microsoft has definitely not been a great tenant on dual boot systems over the past year. Usually you get the occasional MBR overwrite, but it’s been pretty bad. Windows has been assuming it’s the only OS.

Does win10 vm run games well? (like power hungry games)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I don’t recommend going that direction. I think you’ll get better results with Proton and Proton-based solutions like Lutris and family.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won't work in a VM, anyway

Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows

With GPU passthrough you can get almost native performance. This requires 2 GPUs though (iGPU as second one should suffice), dunno about the input lag and stability though as I only have one GPU

Without it though? Not even worth trying

I've tested it, and while it does work, there are some issues:

  1. The anti-cheat doesn't work for all games (delta force demo).
  2. Sometimes i had strange sound glitches.
  3. I had to use a second mouse. In certain games where you drag the camera (like Sins of a Solar Empire), the camera spins uncontrollably fast.
  4. It's not as fast or responsive, but good enough.
  5. Game Pass games don't run.

Because of these points, I still keep Windows 10 as a dual boot option.

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

I only play games that work native or via proton. I just use windows for the CAD programs that i need to use. I do gpu pass through and native for my host system idk how this would be for gaming tho.
