Not entirely true in my case, I’ve got an old Inspiron 530 that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. Well it ran Vista from the factory so that’s worthless now, so I figured I’d try putting Linux on it. Every single distro I tried installing just wouldn’t get past the splash screen. Mint, Ubuntu, Arch (GUI and manual installer), Pop_OS, ChimeraOS, nothing. Trying different USB media writing methods did nothing or made it not even show as a bootable device. Finally got Xunbuntu to work on it and even that took 3 attempts to install.
I’ve got a more recent HP that was originally Win 7 that did have a much higher success rate and an old Acer laptop that straight up will not boot Linux without a high amount of errors or just completely borked graphics even with multiple distros.
But I’m also an idiot so it’s probably me.
I was talking to one of the repair guys working on one near me and he told me they already ran Linux, so they’re one step ahead of you
Easiest way for me to transfer my ROMs to my Steam Deck, even while using it in Windows
Nice try, NSA, I know those are your spy drones. You can’t fool me!
It’s been happening to me but more consistently in 1440p or 4k, 1080p will still do it but only after a few videos or SponsorBlock does it’s thing. Happened on Linux and Windows.
I give it a week before it’s locked behind Twitter Blue or some new subscription
The catalyst for this shitty timeline we’re in
Dicks out, lads
With the amount of people that made their account with a fake DOB of like 1900 or something to get around mature content I’m sure they already see plenty of users that age lol
I’d love to get my hands on even a decent condition 1st gen iPod, but people want insane amounts for them now. Even my 5.5 gen was more than i wanted to pay but nearly mint.
Imagine playing CS2 or CoD and getting flashbanged with a screen that bright
Man I’ve followed like 6 different guides to a T and tried with 4 different distros and still can’t get it to work. I’m done fighting with it for a while. Maybe it’s just an issue with 7000 series AMD cards or the guides aren’t up to date with the kernals idk. I need to take a long break from it before I get upset and just return the GPU lol
Appreciate you trying to help though, truly
Sorry for the delayed reply, don’t have much free time on work days.
Was launching the VM via virt-manager. Do you want the overview XML or for a specific category within virt-manager?
lspci -k
shows both my GPUs are there now but trying to load the BM says iommu group is not viable
Yes, I installed libvirt along with the many other packages required
Passthrough not actually working, VM not detecting the GPU or not loading qemu properly even with everything loaded properly. Tried on 3 different distros (Ubuntu and arch based) and none worked. Might try the other suggestion to swap the cards. Just means I’ll have to redo my water loop for the 2nd time this week 🙃
Me this past weekend trying to setup GPU passthrough to a VM. Bought an AMD card just to passthrough my existing Nvidia one and have had nothing but issues with multiple distros 😔
Yes
This is false, I’m currently visiting Brazil and haven’t been murdered.
