I’ve played a small amount with it— I didn’t go far because I only have one graphics card. But my understanding is that you can set up the virtual machine to “capture” the graphics card when it is booted up, and “release” it when it’s done. That’s how some people can use a single graphics card, they just can’t see the Linux desktop while the vm is in use.

For switching games, make sure the drive the game is on is supported by both Windows and Linux. I imagine you’d need to unmount it on the host while the vm is open. I do this for some games with dual booting. Also, install the Windows version and force proton, otherwise you’ll have to install it twice.

For microphone, I assume there’s a solution like network: a way of forwarding the data to the VM in addition to being available on the host. I haven’t tinkered with this though.

For monitors, I’d look into Looking Glass. My understanding is that it can make a window to display the vm output. If you don’t mind the monitor being “tethered” to the gpu, though, I’d imagine any monitors attached on the gpu you pass would display the vm’s contents, while any on the host card will remain the same.

Best of luck!

I’m excited to give it a shot when I get back to my desktop!

Her name is Link 😒

Which VCS do you use?

This is really good news, glad to have access to the Roblox library on Linux again. I’m curious to see how the graphics compare to the desktop version.

That said, Roblox is a scummy company that exploits users and developers, many of whom are children. Also, the chat filter and content moderation are poor, and they completely ignore the major predator issue the platform has. I don’t support the company itself.

That’s awesome! It’s really cool seeing low poly models realized.

Just saw that today, photo shoot went wild

Here’s some other pics from it:

It’s… all Ohio?

Honestly, good on you for taking accountability on it and editing it.

It’s the “time and place”, I feel— there’s loads of dank 9/11 memes online with (relatively) positive reception, but I think it just would’ve faired better in a community better suited for that kind of humor.

But regardless, as with any tragedy, the joke will still miss for many people. I mean, many of the families affected are still alive, and anyone older than 30 probably remembers when they heard the news.

Columbo says queer rights 💯‼️🚳❤️

I don’t think there’s a separate build with Nvidia patches now (at least on the AUR), as they’re included/fixed upstream. Still plenty of config and environment variables to set on Nvidia. And the new Nvidia beta driver, 555, should fix flickering in xwayland windows that was caused by a lack of explicit sync support. It’s been working well for me so far!

Right up front two major issues with Linux:

1. No standard UI - it’s different on every system

2. No standard tools - you can’t rely on the same tools being on every machine

These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.

But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.

Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.

I currently use and love bluetuith! I hope you are able to secure funding and contributors, as this sounds like it could be a great development.

Did it originally say him? 👀

Got home, it’s working really well. Like, I’m super pleased!

VRR still needs testing on my system. I know that there’s yet to be a fix for multi-monitor VRR. I still need to test with a single monitor, though.

YOOO!!

I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.

I worked at a place with vending machines, and we completely lacked any ownership of them. Money stolen and need a refund? Call the number on the posted machine. If you paid in cash, no luck. This seems like that to me.
