It could if there are issues accessing hardware directly. Overhead is, as you said, not that important.

Awesome, great opportunity to make farmer worker jobs great again. Everybody should hurry to apply.

Assuming a single monitor?

And that is a true game changer. 🍿

How do you connect to Windows VM? RDP clients struggle with multimonitor support AFAIK. Also what virtualization you use?

That will also solve the mandatory restart after? I guess so. Any side effects?

I for one have been a WIndows user (developing apps) since 3.0. And now I'm ditching it for Linux because of clusterfuck Windows 11 is (also to some extent Windows 10). WIll have to run a Windows virtual machine but only for developing long term legacy WIndows .NET Framework apps. For other development (Android, .NET with Avalonia, Blazor, some Rust etc) I'll use Linux natively.

What problems? (no problems since there is no monitoring, right)

My only problem with Fedora (Workstation) is that it really likes upgrade though restart. And upgrades are daily. It ~~can't~~ can be turned off (to not require restart) on KDE variant, but I didn't find an option on Gnome one.

I beg to differ, while I'm in the later camp. 200W help with almost no weight added seems like a good trad-off to me, specially with gravel bikes.

On X11 and the Fascists Maggots (blogs.gnome.org)
 

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

About backup and switching to a different distro (programming.dev)
 

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

  1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
  2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

driving three 4K DP displays with a 9900X(3D) iGPU? (programming.dev)
 

Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.
