    Is Orca that resource intensive? I’m running it in a container with KasmVNC and have never really checked out the resource usage. Admittedly it’s on one of my local servers in another room. I guess it’s how large your projects are too.

    Edit: maybe it’s just my small projects












  • I run my 4800hs / 1650 laptop in hybrid mode, it’s ‘OK’ on battery but I bought it used and it’s seen some usage (70% health) in its past life. I’ve been using hyprland for maybe 6 months now and support has only improved with time.

    You will run into issues with specific multiplayer titles in a VM, depending on what you plan on playing having a 2nd partition might be the way to go. Some titles won’t care being in a VM, some will flat-out refuse to work or kick you after some time, many are compatible out of the box under Linux / Proton.

    Supergfxctl is a handy tool for toggling your dedicated card, my laptop is ASUS so I can’t be certain on the level of compatibility you may see with said tool.




  • The volumes of cash that Microsoft throw at retailers (custom builders / big box) is astronomical. Worked for a relatively small retailer with some international buying power. EOFY “MDF” from Microsoft was an absurd figure.

    Our builders would belt out 3 - 6 machines per day, depending on complexity of the custom build, the pre-built machines were in the 6+ per day range.

    Considering the vast majority of those machines were running windows (some sold without an os), from a quick estimate after too many beers we were out of pocket 10% at most of the bulk buy price for licence keys after our “market development funds” came through.

    It’s fucking crook.



  • I’ve not tested the method linked but yeah it would seem like it’s possible via this method.

    My lone VM doesn’t need a connection to those drives so I’ve not had a point to.

    You could probably run OMV in an LXC and skip the overheads of a VM entirely. LXC are containers, you can just edit the config files for the containers on the host Proxmox and pass drives right through.

    Your containers will need to be privileged, you can also clone a container and make it privileged if you have something setup already as unprivileged!
