I wish. I've updated it from both F droid and the play store and both say my instance version isnt on the current update so I can't sign in at all.

My instance isn't updated because the new update is fucky with captchas idk the fine details

My jerboa was crashing so I tried to install it from Fdroid, and now I can't sign into either version. (Server isn't updated because of captcha issues with new update. Jerboa is preventing login because of this.)

So that prevented me from using jerboa.

Connect works still, shame jerboa is having issues.

Depends on my needs, my desktop itself has a 8core @ 5GHz, around 50Gb ram, a Quadro and a 3080ti.

For gaming I'll usually pass through 6cores, 30Gb ram and the 3080ti to a windows VM, leaving 2cores 20Gb and the Quadro for my linux host.

sometimes I'll do more of a 50/50 split or if I'm just updating windows or downloading a game I'll only pass 2 cores like 10Gb ram and no gpu.

But if you mean how did I do the initial setup, any arch based disro will be the easiest (but you can do it on others if youre more technically inclined) by following this guide:

PCI PASSTHROUGH VIA OVMF

Ive done this process on so many systems I can do it off a fresh install in probably 30 minutes now.

Once the Linux host is finished, I install windows in the VM, strip as much bloat from it as I can, install my universal programs(Firefox, 7zip, VPN stuff remote desktop stuff, GPU drivers, etc)

For gaming, the best programs I've found are Looking glass to pass the VM GPU's video to a window on the client with no latency, and SCREAM audio for the same with sound.

Once that's all set up and windows is fully updated, I make a backup of that VM, and basically never open the original again. If I need a new VM, just clone that setup and everything's ready to go. I can rn clone the original setup, and use my private collection of interesting viruses on that windows VM without fear of it damaging anything.

D: demonstrate interest in a topic by communicating it clearly around your phone.

E: engage with ads in the same vien as the question you're looking for.

N: NEVER use an AdBlock. This throws off the algorithm as it can't track how long you take before scrolling past an ad.

N: News. what news do you engage with? Contrary to expected behavior, google actually spends more resources trying to sway dissent from their opinion more than it rewards its supporters! Talk about breaking up monopolies, talk about tax havens, or even bing.

I: Invest wisely. Have money in the bank. They'll know. The more money you have the bigger fish you are in the pond. The more they'll target you.

S: Search. Go to google.com, they have a bar you can type in. Put in your question, hit search, and if you follow these steps, you'll get what you were looking for.

I use Arch, but I have two graphics cards in my system and I run a stripped windows VM for any game that I want ray tracing or 4k in.

My arch setup has an older Nvidia Quadro card and can run everything on like medium settings, but my virtual machines have a 3080ti. I didn't want the wear and tear on my 3080ti just to watch YouTube or play indie games that don't need the horsepower, but I still want to try stuff like portalRTX or stable diffusion and the like that needs an enthusiast graphics card.

This to me is the best of both worlds. I can run the VM in the background so I can use my desktop(connected to the TV) as a media center and have cyberpunk playing totally hidden and streaming to my steam deck for ray tracing maxxed settings.

Hell I even play Half life:Alex VR in a virtual machine and stream it over wifi to my Oculus quest.

Charlie Day's new movie Fools Paradise!

If you like always sunny you'll have a good time spotting cameos from like, everyone.

I really enjoyed the film, but my family wasn't digging it and I could definitely see why.
