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.

41·3 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.
1·6 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.
0·7 months agoThe real question is why did they install a system based on 5.25" floppy disks in 1998 in the first place!?
The 5.25" floppy was surpassed by the 3.5" floppy by 1988 - ten years prior to this systems installation - and by 1998 most new software was being distributed on CD-ROM. So by my reckoning, in 1998 they installed a ‘new’ system based on hardware that was 1.5 generations out-of-date and haven’t updated it in the 26 years since.
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”!?
