Cybernetic Vermin posted:at the point where you're running both linux and windows *anyway* though you'd need a pretty good reason for it to make sense to not just reverse the virtualization and wsl. windows is not without problems, but drivers are good and it is a perfectly fine virtualization host. myself, i just keep a windows system around solely for games - i looked at using gpu passthrough too though, and on os x at least it works reasonably well. but overall i agree, it's a bit easier to just have a dedicated windows system for games. i don't use it for anything else though, windows as a host for most anything just doesn't appeal much, i'd never use it as a vm host. the whole idea to me is to interact and fiddle w/ windows as infrequently as possible. the ideal, all else being equal is just a nice vm w/ win 10 pro or enterprise that you can use for games and it's fine, just shut it down when you're done and forget all about windows

Kazinsal posted:iirc if you have an nvidia card GPU passthrough only works if you have a quadro or titan. also it wasn't officially supported but worked fine for running games in a vm, and just recently they started officially supporting it as well

i like freebsd as a desktop. it's good if you're into more unix-y things. also super stable and most anything runs on it. fairly easy to make a server or nice desktop with. lots of companies use bsd for the network stack, like netflix uses a bunch of bsd, and sony as well

wonder if valve using arch for steam means they'll submit patches and help make it more reliable, or will valve have random outages? guess we'll see!

yummycheese posted:reading that article and the comments goes a long way in demonstrating that emacs is basically a social club and it will never change. i just use vi and a few of the features. it's fine, and leaves me free to think about more important things, eg most anything else. think if i ever needed to do heavy dev work i'd just use whatever jetbrains has on their ides because it's fine, who cares

psiox posted:is there a compelling reason to use xfs over ext4 these days? i like xfs on linux because nasa uses it, and it reliably works on modest hardware as well. it's needs suiting for me if i'm using linux. i don't know what features ext4 has vs xfs, but you can grow an xfs filesystem and such, it's full featured and robust. i switched to xfs on the rare occasions i use linux, mostly because i had an ext4 filesystem that destroyed itself shortly after install (but well after i'd spent the time to set things up). reinstalled w/ xfs and that pc has worked fine since

this reads like the shrimp saved my life story  that's cool they're more motivated to do stuff now, rather than be helpless

if you don't like find, but enjoy finding things on your systems, you can install a command called locate; it's m/p locate on some distros, versions. it's a lot like find, except it generates a db of your local files, and periodically it goes back through and re-indexes things. it's significantly more convenient to use to actually find files, although you do have to keep in mind that it's a static snapshot, if it's something you just added
