And depending on your connection you'll also need some kind of domain, dyn DNS and reverse proxy

I've had some success with fmstrat/winapps (if I remember the repo correctly) but that might be overkill for your use case

Simply put "unsubscribe" in a folder rule for your mail client and delete them automatically. Obviously if you have newsletter subscriptions you actually want to receive Marie sure those are filtered and sorted away before the "unsubscribe"tile kicks in

You can try the "Malazan book of the fallen" series. It's very fast paced which I like but probably isn't everyone's cup of tea.

piped.video works, invidious doesn't, why? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

There was a freetube workaround that worked for me: Set API to invidious Disable fallback Disable the invidious override thing in the player settings section Set the invidious instance to one close to your location (type https:// in the field to get suggestions)

That seems to work for the moment.

Hi there,

I've just recently started using Linux (Mint) and I'm pondering on if and how to change my setup.

Here's how it is right now: I have 4 drives - 1 512GB ssd which has Windows installed on it, a 2 TB hdd that's used for storage on the Windows part of my system, a 1 TB m2 ssd with Linux Mint and a 2 TB ssd for storage on my the Linux part of my system.

I can't unfortunately get rid of Windows completely, as I need the Office Suite for Work - I do training sessions on process optimization mostly online via MS Teams.

At the moment, I have fmstrat/winapps installed, as well as teams-for-linux (which is just a web app as far as I know) for most basic things like outlook and teams messages. Both options (Web-apps and winapps) are not really suitable for online training sessions or more work intense sessions as they are simply too slow or missing features. For everything else, I'll do a reboot into the windows system and after I'm done I reboot back to Linux.

Now here's my question:

Is there a way, e.g. to put a VM fullscreen over both displays on one workspace and give it full power / resources so I won't notice much difference to a native system (How good would my components need to be for this?) - and suspend the VM if I switch away from that workspace back to Linux. And would this be suitable to access my devices like the rodecaster pro duo or my cam (via CamLink 4K) and my streamdeck?

Do you have any other better ideas to get to my goal of basically having an easy way to switch between Win and Linux. The Windows VM would only be used for Office work and online Meetings but both should run without any noticeable lags or glitches.

Would another distro be better for this task? I like working with Linux Mint atm but I wouldn't mind trying a different one as well - the Linux distro would have to be suitable for gaming though.
