Lmao, reminds me of a joke I heard from a friends dad. Was along the lines of then President George W Bush was mid meeting and interrupted by staff to inform him of a catastrophy. An U.S. oil platform in South America exploded, causing 15 Brazilian deaths. W muttered, "holy shit, how many is a brazillion?!"

My memory isn't the best on this, as it was close to 10 years ago, I just now had to look up some YouTube's and images to see which things I recognized.

I was using Arch and I'm pretty sure I managed everything with Virtual Machine Manager.

I know 100% I used vfio, and I wanna say qemu as well.

The one thing I remember most, was I couldn't use Virt Manager's GUI to just straight up add the Windows SSD. I had to use the GUI to add something similar, but then had to go and directly edit the XML. It took me forever through trial and error, but I wanna say I finally was like fuck it, and changed the XML entry to just straight up /dev/nvme and it worked.

Never had any bootloader issues. I think I let Windows have its own EFI boot partition it installs automatically, but also gave my arch install its own EFI boot partition as well. When I wanted to boot Windows bare metal, I would just press F8 on boot and select the Windows Boot manager entry, as opposed to booting into systemd-boot and selecting Arch or Windows.

America seems like the worst place for scooters? Most cities are built around car usage, long distances, and going fast. A scooter would be the last thing I'd ever consider since i have to do an amount of freeway driving.

I did the vfio passthrough years ago, rocking two monitors like I always have.

Top monitor was Linux only via Display Port. Bottom was Linux via HDMI, and Windows via DP. Small cheap AMD GPU for all the Linux, and big boy AMD GPU was only for Windows VM.

I would turn on the VM, and then toggle my bottom monitor from HDMI to DP to game, and then the reverse when finished. Could be done all the same without the top monitor.

A neat trick I figured out, was the Windows VM was actually a bare metal Windows install on a separate SSD that could be booted into normally, but also passed through to the VM when using Linux.

Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There's always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they're about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.

Holy fuck my sides hurt laughing. Sending a virtual IT bro hug.

I think they're trying to say you cant create/buy someone else's wireless PCVR hardware solution. As in someone makes a program and 2 USB adapters to line of sight transmit wirelessly, so it's just plug and play. No tweaking settings or worrying about networking to minimize latency.

Microsoft is gonna close off access to their NT kernel, eventually. When that happenes all anticheat will have to be in userspace. I'd imagine at that point all of those games become Linux compatible.

My old PC was an Asus x470 prime pro and had Team Group RAM. For like 6 months I kept having random hard crashes and I finally figured out it was the RAM. The end solution was loading DOCP and then slightly bumping up the RAM's voltage. IIRC, I bumped it from 1.45V to 1.455V.

I hope you like it! Zen with AVX2 finally ended my years of browser hopping.

It can install addons like any other FF fork, and there's an entire settings tab with a long list of keybinds.
