  • It says that the guest is supposed to have some special software

    That sounds like virtio-win. I usually use the iso and mount it from virt-manager, but if the internet is working then I guess you can download the exe.

    I'm assuming that I'm supposed to download "libvirtd"

    Just searched it up, something like this should work: sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virtinst libvirt-daemon

    Sorry I don't have too much experience with gnome boxes either, I mostly use virt-manager.

  • I probably wouldn't describe it as similar, but virt-manager is fairly simple but powerful at the same time (like it will let you expose more advanced KVM/QEMU features like PCIe passthrough and similar).

    But like the other guy said, gnome boxes is very straight forward and probably more similar in it's simplicity.

    They both use QEMU + KVM, so you can have both virt-manager and boxes installed at once, and I believe virt-manager (probably boxes too) easily let you use existing VirtualBox .vdi files, if you've got an existing VM you want to run. Also like I said before, KVM is already mainlined into the Linux kernel, so you don't have to install sketchy kernel modules and stuff.

    I've only used VirtualBox once though, so I can't really compare them.

  • I'm pretty sure there's no difference between internal and external ext4 (at least how gnome disks handles it), so I think it's just trying to make sure users don't freak out when they format it as ext4 and think their data is all gone on Windows.

    Also when it's grayed out you usually just have to install the fuse driver and file system tools, IIRC for exfat you install exfat-fuse and exfatprogs.

  • If you're using gnome disks, it hides the more Linuxy file systems behind an 'Other' option.

    Personally, for removable drives I prefer to use

    • ext4 for HDDs
    • f2fs for SSDs
    • exfat for Windows compatibility

    If it's grayed out or you're getting errors try searching up 'how to format as [file system] in [Pop OS/Ubuntu/Linux]', you might need some extra packages.

  • The video is about smart devices that are poorly designed and/or rely on cloud infrastructure being dumb. Jeff also wants smart devices that will literally only talk to home assistant, and will still work fine if home assistant is offline (like a light switch will still work if the server is down).

  • Okay so for whatever reason, turning Freesync on and off a bunch of times from the OSD and then replugging works until the next reboot, so I've dumped the working EDID and I'm trying to figure out how to load it at boot (but I'm not having much luck).

    For reference, the monitor is a Samsung LC24RG50.

    Edit: Got the EDID loaded, KDE says it's supported, but VRRTest doesn't really seem to do anything.

    Edit 2: Other games work fine.

  • if you want to use different SSID for different VLAN

    With newer versions of the controller you can actually use PPSK for a different VLAN per password (same SSID), but at the moment you'd be stuck using WPA2.
