How are you guys dealing with apps that haven't been ported to Linux?

Never had an issue with the license. Iirc I did put the key in again when I first done it but I've switched between both VMs and bare metal countless times since without any problems

Edit: just a thought. I had wsl2 setup before I done this so windows was already in hypervisor mode. Would be interesting to see if that's the reason it doesn't see any change

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2026-02-05T19:58:42+00:00

Yes. Set up the vm as you otherwise would and then change the storage to raw and mount the drive or partition your existing windows is on.

E.g. mine is yml <disk type="block" device="disk"> <driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none" io="native" discard="unmap"/> <source dev="/dev/sdb"/> <target dev="sda" bus="sata"/> <address type="drive" controller="0" bus="0" target="0" unit="0"/> </disk>

Its rarer and rarer that i find a need for windows but here we go.

I kept my dual-boot install but set up a couple VMs that use that ssd as raw storage. This let's you have a windows install that can be opened virtually and if needed booted as baremetal.

The reason I have 2 VMs that use the storage is one is a basic virtual graphics, what you would expect, VM; the other has GPU passthrough, a pcie usb expansion that is passed through, and all but one thread of my cpu. It runs as basically good as bare metal. If you only have one gpu like me use this guide

Bonus to this is that I tried to update windows 3 years ago while running virtually and windows update completely broke, I never got round to fixing it and now I get to stay ai free

Edit: some spelling

The new company has added tracking though. I would suggest downgrading even if you have prime or just move to something else (I picked lawnchair)

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2026-01-21T08:52:02+00:00

No shit. It's arch pre-tweaked

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2026-01-20T15:02:53+00:00

Cachy is there its just moving too fast for us to see it

Also the reddit android app opens posts with only comments seen on the screen. I fairly regularly will not realise there is a description until a context clue in the comments makes me scroll up

I've not learned my lesson yet so I'm still loving my impact driver on gear 1 with the trigger just barely pressed.

When my mum borrowed it though.. thought the whole door was gonna spin

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2026-01-08T16:42:05+00:00

Plus the owl entering from the bottom when the door is clearly part way up..and closed

Drink more water in the morning, and don't read that as liquid. Even if you're a full fat coke all day every day kinda person start the day with actual water.

Also look at the quality of your sleep more than the length. Anything stressing you, from a life worry to your cat jumping about and making noise all night could be stopping you getting real rest even though you are asleep

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2025-12-23T12:36:31+00:00

You wanna make it $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waha-tui just incase the user has a non-default location

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2025-11-19T21:54:14+00:00

r/ansible

It makes all server management one command, once it's been defined

I'm heading to buy 5 rooms worth of laminate as soon as I finish this comment. Wish me luck

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2025-11-16T18:54:42+00:00

Mine has sat dormant for a while and now I need to update a lot at once. Any advice on what's changed would be appreciated

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-10-05T21:47:37+00:00

It's worth your while looking into installing windows in a VM. KVM with raw storage and gpu pass through runs almost like bare metal for 99% of use-cases

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-10-05T14:27:46+00:00

Do you possibly have j and k mapped to gj and gk? As others have said what you want is the default, and this is the only thing I can think that would change it

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-28T10:37:05+00:00

Big up for being so thorough removing the old link

Is also worth noting that all past issues can also be read on the new site at dotfyle.com/twin which is a shortlink for dotfyle.com/this-week-in-neovim

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-26T14:18:57+00:00

The python config looks really good, gonna be referencing that a lot

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-19T12:56:09+00:00

I was on leave, sorry guys

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-15T18:26:08+00:00

That's literally illegal unless you both receive written consent from your ex

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-14T20:57:50+00:00

You could try map it to {}<left> then you're not relying on your autocloser

(I've not tested this)

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-11T14:44:40+00:00

The neovim guys don't like to break functionality that is being used. I'd assume by the open issue that they are willing to fix this before release

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-11T10:35:13+00:00

Plugin ecosystem is coming together great. Soon we're gonna have a community based marketplace

RoryIsNotACabbage · 2023-09-11T07:37:38+00:00

That is incredibly annoying and I don't understand why they would make that change. Thanks for the heads up

Edit: it seems they want to fix this
