oh right i forgot, my vmware install is from aur, its not packaged otherwise

M@LtChipotle going to work on seeing if I can get CUDA to work properly for my next sunshine build but if that doesn’t work out within a couple hours, I’ll just push a new build with your change in the meantime.
VYou ever used distrobox before?
Dheard of it, never had reason to use it
VIt's quite good for distros like bazzite
K
Tthats not really what i meant
Ti dont know if it requires kernel modules or what (actually we may have them!)
Doh i see, so steam is running in an arch container here
VYup
VBest part is it runs with the latest Mesa
Doh… it requires systemd services but idk what those do. I gotta jump through hoops to get kernel modules working in general?
Tkmods require upstream to have them
VDistrobox can't do everything (VMs aren't too possible/easy) but it can do a lot
Dno dkms with auto signing? 
Kno dkms on silverblue period
Kostree doesn't support it
Kkmods work
Kso if you're missing something you can PR it to ublue-os/akmods
Ddang… i will have to study a bit more and see what i got on my current setup and if it will port over
KQEMU works great for VMs
Kjust layer it and go
Toh maybe. i get vmware and virtualbox mixed up. i prefer something like qemu+virt-manager or use gnome boxes for a quick and easy vm setup, but that wouldn't fit the needs of others im sure lol
VI just layer virt-manager, comes with it all
VSurely a virt-manager flatpak is possible?
VDoesn't Boxes use QEMU too?
KI have no idea what boxes uses, but it's so limited that it's not worth considering if your use case isn't just testing something
Dthanks for the info everyone! ill start by looking at what i need from my current system, and see if theres a way to get it running on ublue
Dim sure 99% is all good, i just forgot what i need dkms for
Hqemu/virt-manager is what we support, virtualbox and anything that needs a custom kernel driver/module for virtualization is not supported
bazzite has a command to set it up and even a vfio command that configures the host for vfio (minus binding the card and doing the passthrough and prepping the card as that is your job and not something we can support, but we can at least do the system prep for you so you can just config it from there)

Hidk if vmware needs any kernel modules for virtualization to work
DI really like GNOME Boxes and it seems to work well FWIW
KI use it too, it's just limited in certain ways that make it unusable for someone who wants a VM workflow
KOne such case is giving it exclusive access to a USB device
KVery handy having a ready to go VM in flatpak though
Hboxes would be useless for me
KLike it's amazing it's even possible
Tit can have access to a USB flash drive device if you layer it, but at that point... 
Tlast time i checked it's difficult to run Windows 11 on it, but Windows 10 can work with the ISO. performance isn't great as expected and it's difficult to probably get a lot of stuff done in it, but it does work and it's really easy to install and use
DI'm guessing USB is still horribly broken on Wine/bottles
Twhat do you mean
DYou can't give it "real" access to a USB device. A lot of software that interfaces with hardware just doesn't work right
DNiche stuff like https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software
KI can't answer for bottles but Lutris works great for me and it's layered in
DLast time I tried I couldn't get that to work
Pdoes Lutris have issues on wayland or something?
Tit shouldnt
Dwayland should have nothing to do with USB access
Tim not exactly sure what this is, but it seems like design software
DCorrect. My girlfriend uses it for vinyl cutting and I wanted to see if I could make it work on Linux.
DEnded up giving up and using a Windows VM.
