I think it would be a better fit for the dx bluefin/aurora images with Virtual Machine Manager pre-i

I think it would be a better fit for the dx bluefin/aurora images with Virtual Machine Manager pre-installed than Bazzite but might work for Bazzite when Bazzite DX is released.

antheas•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

Bazzite does not like them harddrives

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

I only asked internal/external because if you Use NVME, usb drives start at sda

antheas•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

I thought weird legion laptop so ssd

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

It's weird legión laptop with hdd

antheas•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

Yeah there's a chance you'll also kill the drive doing this

dannymate•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

Maybe logistically but audience-wise the kinds of people who use Adobe/Office and are also on a gaming focused distro like Bazzite are not developers.

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:20 PM

This is cool, but I will be honest, I kind of want to promote alternatives that are Linux friendly, even if just wrapped web apps, than run VMs, with RDP and all that nonsense.

wolfyreloadOP•6/8/24, 8:22 PM

Maybe it would make sense have Bazzite specific documentation for it but it's going to be quite a challenge to make a ujust automation for it. However, I am definitely going to test this out... I didn't know about this project

dannymate•6/8/24, 8:24 PM

I agree. I actually run a small community dedicated to that kind of thing. It's about providing options. Once they're on Linux then it'll be easier for them to try out alternatives.

My brother needed Office for work and used a tool called Cassowary, which is both the successor and predecessor to winapps :p. Once he could get settled into Linux it was possible to look at alternatives that could get him away from it. We settled on Obsidian + LanguageTool Extension + Pandoc.

dannymate•6/8/24, 8:25 PM

The recommendation comes from experience getting people to switch to Linux and more recently Bazzite.

Aantheas Hey that's not bad

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:26 PM

Well, looks like it all turned out fine

dannymate•6/8/24, 8:26 PM

I also run a small game dev community and asked about the Bazzite DX image but didn't get any takers :P. I did have some initial ideas about the various niches in the game dev space. For example those who go for minimal game sizes. But they weren't fleshed out so I didn't comment

Ooxeleis Exactly, and im too autistic to NOT risk it all in favor of finding shit out

antheas•6/8/24, 8:29 PM

Hey just the right amount of acoustic to test it out and have a gf

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:31 PM

Exactly, the sweet acoustic spot

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:37 PM

Totally fair. The friction that exists, even with tools like this, usually lets them more easily.ove on from them after the switch. So I get it.

Can you link me to the community, I would like to help out when I can.

I just think there might be some difficulty getting all the virt stuff added ontop of gaming stuff. But possible

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:38 PM

Well, we are getting a Bazzite DX

PizzaV•6/8/24, 8:45 PM

how do i make the taskbar icons centered

antheas•6/8/24, 8:46 PM

I don't think there's enough slack to add dx components to the core image

antheas•6/8/24, 8:46 PM

The guys are talking about sysext

antheas•6/8/24, 8:46 PM

But it's still theoretical

Aantheas The guys are talking about sysext

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:47 PM

Sext?

antheas•6/8/24, 8:48 PM

U wish

dannymate•6/8/24, 8:58 PM

Well worst case documentation would be good. (Which I don't mind writing if required).

The community isn't on discord. It's a forum with a large gaming audience. I take more a guerilla approach. I have my little corner that I use so whenever a thread comes up with something bad, like Google being bad or Microsoft being dumb, I post the relevant alternatives and point people to my little corner of the forum for further discussion. It's been quite effective in conversion I think. We get some cool people coming in.

If you want to see the thread I don't mind DMing it to you though.

dannymate•6/8/24, 8:59 PM

I can only handle so much volume :p

linux_doggo•6/8/24, 8:59 PM

does anyone here have a reliable way to share files between a windows guest and linux host

linux_doggo•6/8/24, 8:59 PM

i tried to use virtiofs/winfsp and even following guides step by step, they dont work

linux_doggo•6/8/24, 9:03 PM

i'd be happy to use my network to transfer files, since i have my own router in my room

linux_doggo•6/8/24, 9:04 PM

wireless bandwith isnt an issue, but virtiofs just is not working and its starting to piss me off

dannymate•6/8/24, 9:09 PM

One other thing I've found people worry about is Linux compatibility with their laptop or future laptop. I'm not really a hardware guy so I don't know off the top of my head the various laptops other than the Linux focused, XPS, Thinkpads or Framework. Does anyone know a list of known compatible laptops? Or is that something that needs crowdsourcing.

linux_doggo•6/8/24, 9:10 PM

is hardware compatibility with linux really a problem nowadays

linux_doggo•6/8/24, 9:11 PM

other than the obvious, nvidia, ive never ran into any hardware compatibility issues on any machine

dannymate•6/8/24, 9:13 PM

There's various small issues. Certain thinks like speaker amps, fingerprint readers etc. On a couple lenovo laptops there's a kernel issue with the standby working every time. Beyond that there's peripherals that may not be fully featured.

dannymate•6/8/24, 9:16 PM

Obviously "Windows Hello" IR camera logins don't work on Linux (Howdy doesn't support atomic as yet). I think it would be cool to have a ProtonDB style list of hardware, workarounds and that kind of thing

dannymate•6/8/24, 9:18 PM

Regardless though if it's a Major issue it is something people worry about. You're never really certain what may or may not work when you install Linux on a laptop meant for Windows.
