Single GPU with scripts that run before and after the VM is active to unload the GPU driver modules from the kernel.
I think this was my starting point and I had to do just a few small tweaks to get it right for my setup - i.e. unload and reload the precise set of kernel modules that block GPU passthrough on my machine.

At this point from a user experience p.o.v it’s not much different to dual booting, just with a different boot sequence. The main advantage though is that I can have the Windows OS on a small virtual harddrive for ease of backup/clone/restore and have game installs on a dedicated NVME that doesn’t need backing up
I’ve been 100% linux for my daily home computing for over a year now… With one exception… To be honest I didn’t even try particularly hard to make gaming work under Linux.
Instead I have a Windows VM - setup with full passthrough access to my GPU and it’s own NVME - just for Windows gaming. To my mind now it’s in the same category as running console emulation.
As soon as I click shutdown in windows, it pops me straight back into my Linux desktop.

41·4 months agolen(string) passes the object ‘string’ to a function ‘len’ that returns its length.
sting.len() (edit: hypothetically if it existed) calls the method ‘len’ which is an inherent part of any object of string type.
In practice the result is the same, but the latter is the more object-oriented approach.
I had some hard to track down intermittent network issues when I upgraded from LMDE5 to LMDE6 - the solution was to get a newer kernel from backports - its fairly painless…
Obviously the one that’s in better condition 😅

0·6 months agoTo answer your question directly, I have an MSR HUBBA HUBBA 2 and would recommend it as a great piece of kit for the money, if perhaps slightly over your ideal budget.
However, as both a keen camper and having been to Iceland myself, I’m not sure what you propose sounds like a good idea to me. Iceland is a pretty sparse place once you get beyond the ‘Golden Circle’, and in September average temperatures are between 5°C and 10°C (about 41°- 50° Fahrenheit). Backpacking with a tent is going to be very cold and you’re likely going to miss out on seeing a lot of the island.
In my experience there are two good approaches to exploring Iceland. Firstly you can base yourself in Reykjavik and focus on exploring the ‘Golden Circle’. This is easily achievable by coach day trip(s) from Reykjavik. Secondly, you can hire a car from the airport and do a lap of Route 1. This way you’ll break free from the most well trodden tourist sites and see a broader array of landscapes and places of interest.
The joy of camping is a great thing to want to share with your wife, but a sparse, cold island formed primarily out of volcanic rock isn’t the right starting point; if getting into backpacking is an important goal for your September break I suggest you consider mainland Europe instead.
I also didn’t get on with Garmin for strength work. I moved to ‘Strong’ on Android - everything I was after is at free tier.
Of course, but his cars have won around 40% of all WDC over the past 30ish years, and his record around major new aero regulations is exceptional:
- 1998: Two back-to-back WDC from first season
- 2009: Four back-to-back WDC from second season
- 2022: Two (soon to be three) back-to-back WDC from first season
If Newey ends up at Ferrari in time to design their 2026 car, Hamilton has either lucked into a second stunning career move or he’s known all along…
I guess my point is that it isn’t a particularly important part of the design of Wi-Fi - they included it in the very first iteration in 1997 and realised by 1999 they didn’t need it. Therefore Wi-Fi would likely have been born regardless of the invention; Bluetooth would not.
Great to recognise this invention.
I was surprised by the choice of ‘Mother of Wi-Fi’ though - Wi-Fi hasn’t used ‘frequency hopping’ as such since 802.11b was released back in 1999 - so very few people will have ever used frequency-hopping Wi-Fi.
GPS only uses it in some extreme cases I think, but I’m not an expert.
However, Bluetooth absolutely does depend on it to function in most situations, so ‘Mother of Bluetooth’ might have been more appropriate.
Yelp still exists!?
Who is finding a McDonalds location on their phone’s map app and then thinking “I’d better cross-check this against Yelp first”!?
