Reading MS description of Recall, I am struggling to come up with a scenario where it would be any use. Sounds like the backspace button would work almost as well at a fraction of the resources needed.

Yeah, I feel like any program I would want to use this in already has Ctrl+Z to do just that.

Can anyone think if any use case at all?

There's a smell of it being some pet project of a big architect.

Windows 10 had a feature called 'Timeline'. It wasn't particlarly wanted by many people and it cluttered up an otherwise somewhat useful task overview. It was canned.

This seems to be that guy saying "Hey, I know you canned Timeline on me and called it a failure, but that's just because we didn't AI it up, and now we can and everyone is going to want it!"

Ok, has anyone got DCS World on VR working on Linux? I really want to ditch my Windows gaming machine, I already don't use it for anything serious, but this is getting ridiculous.

If you have dual GPUs or an iGPU plus a GPU, you can use passthrough and play your games with near native performance in an isolated Windows virtual machine under Linux.

Ok, but what happens when you shut down the virtual machine and start it back up? Do you have to reinstall the game?

Also do I have to have 2 expansion slot GPUs or will the MB built in GPU that is not being used, work for this purpose?

To answer the first part, when you shutdown the VM, your stuff will persist, so no you will not have to reinstalled all your stuff on the VM every time.

For the second part of your question, (to my knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong) no Mobo has a built in GPU, some CPUs have integrated graphics and I believe you can get that to work on the VM as well. Otherwise you could use integrated on the Linux host OS and use your GPU for the VM exclusively, but your overall performance may take a hit when not using the VM

Thanks!

You are correct I was referring to the integrated graphics chips, but forgot what they were called. It was like 7:40 am when I asked that.

I'm in the process of switching to Linux on my main rig; still got a lot of shit to figure out but it'll be worth it in the end.

And no, I'm not being a Linux fanboy, I'm just tired of being Microsoft's bitch.

That's how it starts. Gabba gabba we accept you, one of us, one of us.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

These labels are pointless anyway. Use tech that respects you as a user. Microsoft is not it.
