Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ?
  • Indeed. That’s the opposite of what I’m looking for though. That’s complicated and apparently breaks ?

    I’m currently dual booting. Which works fine. I was wondering if there was an easier way though.

  • Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ?

    Basically the title. I’ve only ever seen huge 20 page guides on how to make it work. Is there an easy way?

    Specifically on Debian or Arch with a laptop with two gpus (zephyrus g14)

    Is Reddit going to remain the primary space for this community?
  • Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

    The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.

  • Democracy in darkness: American voters choose Donald Trump, again
  • It’s not a hard problem to understand.

    The Democratic Party is a right wing party already as it is. Center-right at best. And they are trying to court the fascist vote.

    They brought the Cheneys on stage for fucks sake.

    Problem is that Trump does fascism better than they ever could. So they are not getting those votes. But they are alienating the left vote and those people won’t show up.

    In addition to that the demonization of men by the online left is pushing the newer generations right.

    A random man is not more dangerous than a random bear.

    Pushing shit like this in the face of impressionable young people does harm and makes sure they know you do not have their back. So why should they have yours ?

  • We did it, guys!
  • You really should listen to them though. They are telling you exactly what they want.

    Ignoring them and then being surprised and mad they didn’t show up wasn’t the play. And it will continue not being the play.

  • Fear triumphs over hope as Trump wins the presidency – how did it happen?
  • The title is so tone deaf that made me not wanna read the rest of the article.

    Kamala didn’t represent hope. She represented the “nothing will fundamentally change” stance.

  • do you think lemmy will ever be popular?
  • Nah. But it’s already everything I need it to be.

  • Which is better: Aura or Paru?
  • Never used aura but paru is great specially if you also install bat for colored PKGBUILDs.

    Makes reading them much easier. I never did before doing this.

  • In a world
  • It only matters if people are educated enough to understand why it’s important.

    There are widely available options as it is. The majority of people don’t care at best. And get offended at the notion of using them at worst.

  • How is your week going ?
  • Anxiety spiking(or should I say spookying) hard.

  • How can I migrate my lemmy account to another lemmy instance?
  • Oh. Interesting. What do you keep when you export?

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

  • Apparently, the mods at Linuxsucks are really sensitive?
  • Pretty accurate meme though.

  • I’m curious to know how you all handle the limited package selection in the default Debian repositories.
  • How does Distrobox work? Is it as simple a

    $ distrobox install app $ app

    And it runs fine ?

  • I’m curious to know how you all handle the limited package selection in the default Debian repositories.

    I love the idea of trying Debian but every time I try to ditch Arch for it I end up just giving up after not being able to find all the packages I need in the repos.

    How do you guys deal with that? I’m not even talking about them being out of date. I’m talking about them missing altogether.

    What smartphone do your use? What's the best phone you had owned?
  • iPhone 16 pro. Too early to tell but this might be my favorite ever.

    Previous ones I also really enjoyed were all nexus or pixels but they all inevitably shit themselves after a couple years of use. Most recent one pixel 7 just decided it was gonna drain 6% battery per hour while idling out of nowhere. And nothing I tried fixed it. And I tried a lot.

  • The future of software is Nix
  • Oh. I see. Thank you.

  • Stuck in the middle with you
  • Idk. I built my first computer at 6 and ran an irc server for my class mates back in middle school. And I’m sure not many people would have done that back then either.

    Im sure there’s plenty of curious and tech inclined kids these days. They just aren’t the majority. But we weren’t back then either.

  • The future of software is Nix
  • So I’m running Debian. Say you want to use nix on it.

    Is installing a package as simple as $ nix install vscode ? And would it “just work”?

    Might give it a try if so.

  • How was your start into the open source community?

    Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

    As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working.

    Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open.

    Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.

    Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?

    edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.

    Is there a way to automatically turn on reader view mode for all websites that support it?

    I end up manually clicking to turn it on anyway every time. Would love to automate it.

    So, on pronouns.

    I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don't hate me.

    I'm just a straight male. Are my pronouns he/him? Is that how I should tell people? Do you actually tell them as you meet them ? Do I have to wait for a certain social cue ?

    How about online. Should I tell people or have it on my personal profile somewhere?

    And about respecting other people's pronouns. How do i figure them out ? Is it a big faux pas if I don't before I know them ? Is it a faux pas if I refer to someone I just met and I assumed to be male as he/him?

    I've never seen anyone referring to anyone irl by non conventional pronouns. Is it an actual thing or is it currently being pushed to make the world a more inclusive place?

    I'd love some help with all of this.

    Are packages from flathub always safe?

    I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?

    Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?

    I gave it a fair shot for about a year, using vanilla GNOME with no extensions. While I eventually became somewhat proficient, it's just not good.

    Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in and which hotkey you have each application set to.

    How is this better than simply having icons on the taskbar? By the way, the taskbar still exists in GNOME! It's just empty and seems to take up space at the top for no apparent reason other than displaying the time.

    Did I do something wrong? Is it meant for you to only ever have a couple applications open?

    I'd love to hear from people that use it and thrive in it.

    Can someone give me a good rundown on how to keep my accounts safe but also not locking myself out ?

    So. I tried bitwarden for a while with 2fa. I absolutely did not realize that if you lose your 2fa you are done in that service. So yeah. Time to rebuild.

    I'm attempting to go all in on proton stuff ATM. Drive, email, vpn and password manager.

    What's the easiest way to set everything up in a way that the whole system is safe and that minimizes the chance of me locking myself out ?

    Stuff like. Do I bother with 2fa? What are yubikeys. Are these the answer? Do I 2fa all.accounts other than the protonmail one ?

    Long single use case passwords or memorizable ones ?

    Do I do throwaway emails or everything signs up to my main one ?

    Sorry if I overloaded questions. But id love go get insight from people with more experience.

    Edit. And oh. Threat model.

    Id love yo not lose accounts if someone physically steals one of my devices.

    I'd love to not get hsckdd online by someone random that is not targeting me specifically

    And in broad strokes. I'd like to keep all my accounts as private as possible from private companies and governments. But im flexible on this one if its too much hassle.

    Give it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?
