i mean ofc he’s bffs with Bill Gates

also for PR towards people that don’t know him

might or might not work with openrgb. is rgb seriously that important though?

eBay’s always been fine for me, they have the 30 day returns thing if it’s actually defective/not what’s promised. You should message the seller to ask it’s not carrier locked.

that’s really interesting and sad, I wonder how much of that is them actually not being able to understand vs them being convinced they can’t understand

kinda feels like the worst type of a feedback loop where people just start rejecting external information

pretty sure the nobel prize is a cover for the oil/subjugation, actually I’m convinced his entire personality is a cover really

it gets people talking and stops them from worrying about the things that actually move money and resources in this world

debian’s cdn is crazy fast, the default apt setup in debian 13 chooses mirrors dynamically and it’s really good

not a user of mastodon, but how do these long posts federate over?

seems to me like you made up your own non standard terminology?

actually it seems like everything else posted by op is also slop, another user in my blocklist ig

good to know, I saw the ports too but I couldn’t definitively prove that it’s AI

is the weird white line thing a common feature of slop? I think it might be the first time I’ve recognised it

what’s with the weird white lines in the image?

This is a very advanced use case. Be warned.

Let’s first talk about the software you need. This determines the hardware you need to run it.

For the windows VM you need a few things:

• graphics accelerator (GPU)
• virtual display
• input devices
• audio output

To get the GPU, you probably want to pass through a GPU into the VM with iommu. When doing this, you still want your host OS (linux) to have a GPU as well, so you’ll need 2. Use the integrated one for linux, and the dedicated for windows. Make sure that the laptop display is connected internally to the integrated GPU, not dedicated. Otherwise your linux environment would be uninteractable.

Not sure if you can then use the dedicated GPU on linux when the VM isn’t running or not though. You can look this up probably.

Then, for the virtual display and input device, you want to use Looking Glass. It requires you to have a hardware GPU on both the VM and the host, but it allows you to have a latency free interface to the VM. It’s fucking great.

Audio really depends on your situation. If your motherboard’s builtin audio card is in the same IOMMU group as your dGPU, you’re fucked and you’ll need a USB DAC. That shouldn’t be the case though, it’s usually in your iGPU’s group.

Now for the hardware. From the above, you’ll need:

• 2 GPUs (1 for linux, 1 for windows)
• Mainboard firmware that supports IOMMU
• Audio NOT in the same IOMMU group as the windows GPU
• AMD/Intel GPU for linux, NVIDIA for windows as recommended by Looking Glass. I’ve personally had success with Intel for windows as well though.
• Your display must be connected to the linux GPU.

i think that’s cope unfortunately

I’ve heard nvidia power management is a shitshow for laptops, I know someone that couldn’t get rtd3 power management to work on their 3000 series laptop gpu. that was on arch though, im not sure if Ubuntu has something set up already to handle that

purism librem 5 seems to have everything working https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Purism_Librem5_(purism-librem5)

shit they exist?? tysm!

how did you configure it? iirc vgpus in Linux are pretty bad, virgl is pretty good but it doesn’t have a guest driver for windows

or you can model functional mechanical parts with blender like some masochist (definitely not me)
