I mean I've had no end of problems, generally created and fixed by me. But none of them have raised to the level of breaking my machine or operating system. I guess I did upset it by giving fstab bad info, but it's not like I managed to uninstall system packages or something.
People who use arch tend to wonder how other people manage to break arch so hard and often. At least that's been my experience since I started using arch.
I currently have a VFIO setup and it works great. There's just almost nothing I need it for with how great Proton has become. I have an AMD APU and GPU. My Linux desktop runs on the APU and only offloads to the discrete GPU when invoked with the DRI_PRIME=1 environment variable.
Virt-Manager has the ability to run scripts at certain points in the VM startup and shutdown process. This is what I use to reassign the GPU to the VFIO stub driver so it can be handed to Windows, remove half of my CPU cores from the process scheduler so Windows isn't suffering constant cache misses, and open looking-glass which uses a shared memory device to render the GPU output in a window on my desktop with minimal latency. Scream starts on login to handle audio, and you're going to want to use a shared memory device for that because it has latency problems over network.
I've been told I have one foot in each bucket labeled "single GPU passthrough" and the other labeled "dual GPU passthrough". If you've only got one you'll have to exit your X or Wayland session to use the VM because your GPU cannot abide two masters. Nvidia has a functional equivalent to Prime, I think, but I don't think it just works out of box. I understand Nvidia isn't happy about their consumer cards being handed to VMs as it's usually an expensive enterprise trick, so there might be a workaround process there.
The Arch wiki has a great tutorial on GPU passthrough using VFIO and OVMF, that's probably your best bet on an arch based system like Manjaro.
Just another old dude complaining that his interests and the internet spaces that discuss them has become more accessible in the last thirty years. This type of greybeard elitism got in my way when I was trying to learn and if I hadn't been self motivated to keep learning, that might have been the end of it. The biggest takeaway from this discussion is that Google is regressing in usefulness and that discord was always a bad place to store information.
The reason this is being asked is because the PC port for GTA IV was notoriously broken. There is a popular set of patches and mods that will improve that and I know they come bundled in the fit girl repack but it's one of the ones that won't play nice with WINE during installation.
As far as I know, Ubuntu is unique in its insistence on snaps. I can't really speak for any others but my system runs fine entirely on native or locally compiled packages known to my package manager.
I haven't been a multiplayer gamer in a while, and the only mp game I fire up from time to time doesn't have this problem. So I admit I forget it can be a thorn in the side of some people.
I learned a lot about both Linux and virtual machines. I'd say it's worth it if you think that knowledge would be useful to you. Proton and Wine-GE both do almost everything I could want but when something can't or won't work, it's nice to just throw it into a environment you know it will work with. I think I keep all of five games on my windows vm, and I might need it for productivity software in the future.
There's a few ways of doing GPU passthrough, as you probably know. I have an APU and discrete GPU, which allows me to use Windows like just another application on my Linux desktop by way of looking-glass and scream-ivshmem. It's very convenient. I can imagine it would be less so if you're looking at a single-GPU situation as I think you'd have to close your graphics session when you swap.
Now, I know what you're thinking, who in their right mind would suggest Archlinux for a beginner?
I did this to follow some arcane manuals to hand my entire GPU over to a windows vm. It's a neat trick and I've learned a unbelievable amount in a short time, but it can be frustrating as all hell and took probably a month of getting things the way they needed to be.
Please forgive me, I'm going to keep asking this everywhere I can until hopefully get an answer.
I love librewolf and I want to use it, but I can't get it to render the symbols that some websites use to make their UI work. I've tried downloading fonts but they're all mapped to private use area. I think they need to be downloaded on a per website basis but librewolf seems to categorically refuse.
I really want to stop using brave and I honestly don't want to figure out arkenfox.
It's really not any different from the mechanic as it's been used in previous Bethesda titles. The soft limit of depleting my oxygen meter rather than hobbling my speed is a little more forgiving, particularly if I'm still picking through a free fire zone.
And once I learned that I could sell to stores directly from my ship hold, my problems kinda dried up. It's mostly learning what things in the field are worth hauling back to town when it's not the apocalypse and duct tape just isn't that special.

I haven't tried the new update but this gives me high hopes for what my 6800 can chew through.
