Yeah I’ll give it a go on my machine soon. I only run win in a VM with a gfx card passed through these days anyway just to use some software I have no option for, so didn’t really give it too much thought as there is no data on that system worth stealing anyway. But good to hear its oss.
I’ve steered away from these as a hangover of trust issues back from the old XP ‘lite’ ISO days. However since Microsoft is clearly the main source of malware on windows these days I think its time to let that go…
I often took the same approach back when buying a game was a financial consideration. But even though now 4/5 times I already know hat I’m buying and just pay, there are still the 1/5 times I’ll pirate first as I’m really on the fence. Due to this I have a few games I ended up completing on pirate, but bought the game (and DLC if relevant) with 0 hours in my library because good work deserves recognition.
Otherwise we risk losing those good developers to other careers or into the AAA meat grinder.
For clarity I’m talking Indy titties here, I doubt I average much above 0.5/year AAA purchases anymore
Edit: actually I’ll go one step further. If I pirate your game and hate it, then its delete and forget. If I buy your game and hate it that’s a potential negative review, maybe even though me and that title we just a bad fit. This is why demos need to become ubiquitous again
The host is headless, no video output. The 2 VMs have a GPU passed directly through vfio, so there is no additional delay. Both GPUs connect to the same 2 monitors and USB by a KVM, so its one button press to flip between systems. Though I often run the cad software over RDP, as a little extra latency when using that doesn’t bother me.
Err OK. I passthrough a card to each, switch with KVM. Its like having 2 native machines. According to you I have loads of issues, I guess I just haven’t found them yet? What should I be giving in to?
This is really weird,
ps, I sometimes game on either system, still can’t tell any performance difference from when it was bare metal. I guess I could be super lucky considering all those issues I should be having. Or maybe things aren’t quite as dramatic as you’ve portrayed them
This is some weird tribal emotional stuff.
I run both on the same machine in VMs, had this fedora install since 2019 and kept up with the version upgrades every year. Its just worked without issue during that whole period. I use office in the web app. Windows is there to run cad/cam software. It feels more gross with all the candy crush etc that you have to remove, but it works fine to run the software I need it for.
What’s with all the hyperbole above? Did someone hurt you?
Well if you believe that you should look at the times lawsuit.
Word for word on hundreds/thousands of pages of stolen content, its damming
Most ‘gaming’ chairs are trash material covering shipping foam - garbage.
There are exceptions though. A couple years ago I bought the least gaming looking full leather seat from noble, same foam as good car seats, leather very good, and got it on sale for a silly price. 2 years later it still looks the same as day 1 and the foam hasn’t started to deform yet, I work in it all day.
All my back pain from previous shit chairs was gone in a week too. After that I’d have been happy to pay double.
As in most markets, there are always diamonds in the rough, the hardest part is just identifying them.
Same for flux when doing smd work. If you need to flood an area, the cheap shit will just cost you time and cleaning
I wouldn’t say there’s much in the way of management, its short fights mostly. Something I like about it are the fairly strong modifiers for each character type and how it pushes you into using them all so you get forced into different types of play.
I’m also trying to mainly support small dev team games these days and I think this made by one person which I find super impressive. You die and restart a lot, which I also enjoy
Only buy a couple or so games a year these days, been really enjoying an arena fighting game I came across a little while ago. Only just started putting a few hours into it but always appreciate a game that makes you have to work on skill to progress.

Yeah, bad post.
This is the current temp in south UK, been 14-15c last 2 days. Usually would be less than 0c now, often around -5 or lower in the past.
First Christmas I’ve seen people going from car to shop/garage in t shirts
While I didn’t have that issue, switching my fp4 to e/OS did give me roughly 50% more time on the battery. There are software trade offs though so if you just want the OEM experience then I guess it’ll be a case of waiting for an update.
I run e/OS, I don’t have google app store or any of the related service software installed. Yet I am able to use a cleaned up version of android and still have access to the google app store through an anonymous account using the in built app.
Epic won this case against google…
Epic lost the same case against apple, with which none of the above would be possible.
I’m not advocating for google, obviously I avoid them. But that’s BS, I hope this is used as precedent to bring a new case against apple.
That’s a shame, are you talking about a fair phone? I was not aware there could be versioning issues, I thought the hardware was unchanged per model.
You unlock during the e os install but it makes you relock after. Not aware of any additional security issues using this process
Google services are not installed by default but you can install the play store and other google apps from the built in app store if you need them. The only thing I am lacking from stock is google pay because I haven’t installed any google services but I’m fine with that trade off.
The built-in anti tracking and privacy features a very nice
I run /e/ OS on my FP4, super easy install. Been loving it.
Also here in Europe this is the type of construction we use for a garden shed, not a house.
Even when we do modern timber frame, it’s generally still brick or block at the bottom. How long do these houses last in the US? I imagine a lot of the continent is pretty humid
