Just because I haven’t seen anyone mention it, the distro that finally allowed me to make the switch was Zorin. It is extremely noob friendly for people coming from windows and the first time (for me) I had a linux that “just worked”.
Yeah quickemu is great. I am using it to run a Windows 11 machine to run a .NET 4 backend with all routing and proxying setup perfectly so it all seamlessly points to localhost from Fedora. I also have a Mac OS VM to test all the Safari bs, but as mentioned the lack of GPU acceleration on osx is annoying.
You can play some games with anticheat. But not the biggest ones like CoD, Valorant or any borked game in ProtonDB. In my case I only play BattleBit Remastered, it uses EasyAntiCheat, apex also works. I don’t really care about games now, if a game doesn’t support my system, then I will not buy it nor play it. (Like league of legends)
In terms of plug and play, using KDE Plasma, trying to mount USB NTFS drives with Dolphin fails because udisks2 needs a new release with an NTFS patch so you’ll need to mount those using the terminal (and possibly a umask argument that I can’t remember off the top of my head if you want r/w access instead of read-only). Internal drives that are NTFS worked by clicking on them with no extra steps required surprisingly. This was with a newer kernel that has the ntfs3 driver and not using ntfs-3g fuse driver which also ‘just works’ but is slower.
You could configure sudo without password only for the wg-quick command. Not a beautiful solution and also not super easy to configure with sudo but it’s an option. Much easier solution is to install doas or opendoas and leave sudo as it is. Let’s assume your desktop user is named variants and in group variants, then putting the following in /etc/doas.conf is expected to work :
permit nopass :variants cmd wg-quick
If your user is not yet in a group, and you add a new group, remember that making such a change usually requires logging out and logging in again because the group changes become visible. Then test with doas wg-quick up wg0
On Cosmic you can tile multiple windows in tabs. Tabs are essential for me, I tried Alacritty (and it had quite some issues but I got it to work) and switched back to Konsole
No there where pretty big groups about edgy stuff in the past. Dont use it anymore, even though they seem to kinda have solved their “stored forever in blockchain” problem
I wonder if there is something going on with scheduling waits that is impacting the audio process. I would first try upping the CPU units in Processors->Advanced settings for the VM, bump it to something like 200. Otherwise, if you over subscribing your CPU cores, try temporarily dropping the number of cores subbed out to your VMs to match the physical host to see if it helps, since that could help resolve scheduling issues as well.
I disabled SMT to avoid meltdown attacks, so I added ‘nosmt’ in /etc/default/grub on Proxmox. Currently I’m using a Xeon E3 1275 V2 which has 4 cores, but since nosmt disables hyperthreading, I’m not using 8 cores. I do think you’re right though, this problem hadn’t appeared before and I believe only started to happen when I started messing around with the amount of cores the CPU has. I’ll test it out and keep you updated! Thanks for the advice!
Wherever possible I use the XFCE defaults, as I basically turn Budgie into XFCE. So I use the XFCE-Terminal, and it’s probably the most comfortable TE I’ve tried.
