I keep dual windows on laptop for rare occasions cuz I don't like dealing with passthrough for special USB cables that require their own drivers on VMs

Yep, pretty much the same reason, just have to use it, mostly because of software that interacts with hardware, in one way or another.

USB cables require drivers? 👀

[-] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Well USB to serial port to some weird custom 6 pin connector for a certain machine.

Or car data link adapter

The ports do, it’s just that they’re built in every kernel nowadays.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
