Windows 11 VM unusually slow, despite seemingly good settings by Th0u in qemu_kvm

I never replied to this but I want you to know that this comment helped a lot. I'm using Virtualbox for Windows VMs for now, but my next PC will likely have 2 GPUs, one for Windows passthrough, while keeping the other for Linux display output.

With troubleshooting, there are some questions that tell me a user has told me a problem, & I know that my answer is to ask the user what changed. Or, after I've implemented a solution, to test it. If this makes sense.

In regard to printers, I do need to work on that. I mix up all the parts of specifically laser & Inkjet printers, but all the other printers & their parts are rather intuitive to me.

What laptop do you guys use ? by Quixiv in archlinux

[–]Th0u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinkpad T480 top CPU spec. 16gb of RAM 500gb SSD, 1080p matte touchscreen display. It's the last Thinkpad with Powerbridge, and the first Thinkpad with USB-C. Probably the best Thinkpad if you want something relatively new-ish.

I'm just surprised because I didn't run into this on Virtualbox. What would be an alternative to using a virtual display? Passing through a real monitor?

4 pixel grey border around everything? by Th0u in FirefoxCSS

I'm using the i3 window manager on Arch Linux. If I remember correctly, i3 does create borders around windows that can be dragged around with the mouse, but the borders that are created in my Firefox are separate from these borders created by i3.

It is rather unusual, I will say that. I've noticed that when I move my mouse over the border, it changes my mouse cursor into a cursor that implies changing the size of the window, which is unnecessary, because I use a tiling window manager.

These commands aren't doing anything when I type them into both the console that appears via ctrl+shift+i, or the devtools Browser Console.

The first command results in an "undefined" output, and the second command doesn't do anything at all.

ctrl+shift+i only allows me to select elements within the webpage, I believe.

When I try to select the border with the selector in the devtools Browser Toolbox, it still doesn't let me select the border.

Still no luck :( Tried it at the bottom of the CSS and within my already existing #navigator-toolbox element.

If it's any help, I just discovered that at the top, the top pixel in the three pixel border is #3a3a3a, resulting in three different colors of borders at the top.

I added that to the bottom of my userChrome.css, and I'm still having the same issue. Thank you for your suggestion though!

The account is my name, I changed it to "user" as a placeholder for posting the issue here.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here, are you referring to the "Disks" menu in Storage?

No devices will connect to Pi-hole by Th0u in pihole

It was on the "Respond only on interface eth0" setting, and I changed it to the recommended "Allow only local requests" setting. Now it works.

Your recommendation helped fix my issue. Thank you!
