On the flip side, it big sucks when a trailer shows all of the cool parts, and it turns out those couple of moments were the only good parts of the movie.

The trailer is about ~2 minutes of different action scenes that looks fantastic. Then when you see the movie it's a snooze fest minus the few minutes of action, all of which were shown in the trailer.

Check out the gmk67, it's a 10 keyless and no F buttons size, but is hotswappable with a typical switch plucker/puller. I think multiple "companies" make and sell it, but I found mine on alliexpress for like $35. It does USB, Bluetooth, or 2.4ghz with a USB dongle that stores in the back of it. I put in Akko Lavender switches in mine and absolutely love it. The base + switches + keycaps total only cost me about 75$ for a fantastic, quality feeling keyboard.

My memory isn't the best on this, as it was close to 10 years ago, I just now had to look up some YouTube's and images to see which things I recognized.

I was using Arch and I'm pretty sure I managed everything with Virtual Machine Manager.

I know 100% I used vfio, and I wanna say qemu as well.

The one thing I remember most, was I couldn't use Virt Manager's GUI to just straight up add the Windows SSD. I had to use the GUI to add something similar, but then had to go and directly edit the XML. It took me forever through trial and error, but I wanna say I finally was like fuck it, and changed the XML entry to just straight up /dev/nvme and it worked.

Never had any bootloader issues. I think I let Windows have its own EFI boot partition it installs automatically, but also gave my arch install its own EFI boot partition as well. When I wanted to boot Windows bare metal, I would just press F8 on boot and select the Windows Boot manager entry, as opposed to booting into systemd-boot and selecting Arch or Windows.

I did the vfio passthrough years ago, rocking two monitors like I always have.

Top monitor was Linux only via Display Port. Bottom was Linux via HDMI, and Windows via DP. Small cheap AMD GPU for all the Linux, and big boy AMD GPU was only for Windows VM.

I would turn on the VM, and then toggle my bottom monitor from HDMI to DP to game, and then the reverse when finished. Could be done all the same without the top monitor.

A neat trick I figured out, was the Windows VM was actually a bare metal Windows install on a separate SSD that could be booted into normally, but also passed through to the VM when using Linux.

Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There's always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they're about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.

The advice in that article is primo out of touch and humorous. They give statistics that people's savings and assets are down X amount, and the first advice is save for an emergency. Running out of savings?! Just save more, five head.
