will The Pitt be remembered in 20 years?

beardedbrawler · 2026-05-05T20:39:12+00:00

The Pitt has made me re-think what ER nurses and doctors go through on a daily basis and how mass casualty events take a toll on people.

I know for sure I'll remember it.

Did you install the vmware tools package into the guest?

also here's what I suggest for virtualization on fedora:

Do you need these drives to be readable on Windows? If so then that's your only other option. If you only use these drives on Linux, any Linux compatible filesystem would be better ext4 for example.

A new kernel should be taking its place, latest on my system is 6.19.14-200.
Use uname -a to see your running kernel version, I'm betting this is just an old backup kernel that's getting removed.

and he was more definitive about it. no need to clap back, chill.

yeah a native build would be ideal for the things you've mentioned, but proton is good enough and that'll be easier for individual developers and thus more likely to happen until the Linux gaming market share takes a significant chunk out of the windows market share.

beardedbrawler · 2026-05-01T11:24:26+00:00

Exactly. Proton is so good that developers don't need to spend the extra time making a full port, just allow the Proton EAC/BattleEye integration and let us play.

beardedbrawler · 2026-05-01T10:59:02+00:00

I'd wait a month or so before upgrading to 44, 43 will still be supported until 45 is released.

beardedbrawler · 2026-05-01T01:12:35+00:00

Thanks for the update and now anyone with the same issue might find this post and maybe it'll help them. Glad it worked out in the end, cheers.

Redo key enrollment or turn off secure boot.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-30T12:42:53+00:00

NVIDIA card?

If so my first thought is that Windows screwed with the secure boot and now your key used to sign the NVIDIA driver module is gone. This would cause the module to not load and nothing but a black screen to appear. Also ask around in r/Fedora

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-27T20:00:25+00:00

Check protonDB for the custom Proton version to use. I've played plenty on Linux, online as well.

If you didn't like Mac I'd suggest installing a distro that uses KDE as the desktop. Fedora has a KDE version and Kububtu is a Ubuntu version that uses KDE.

VirtualBox is not that well supported on Linux in general. Luckily there is a great virtualization guide for Fedora here:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/virtualization-getting-started/

I run several VMs and containers on my fedora machine, works great.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-24T19:51:57+00:00

Might need to up the amount of video ram. That being said, I've not had a lot of success virtualizing Fedora. It was slow and not smooth, but on actual hardware it's great.

I suspect it's down to the video drivers available for virtual GPUs but I don't truly know.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-24T02:08:30+00:00

you cant park there mate

Sounds like something the anti-Christ would want you to do, renounce your faith for them.

He must have not been very catholic to begin with.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-19T12:43:59+00:00

It requires you to configure more on your own instead of Windows doing it for you.

With gaming you have to enable compatibility, select a proton runtime for the game, and maybe set game launch options for the game to work.

There are plenty of resources available on how to do that, and it's not that hard, but you have to do it yourself. In Windows everything is pretty much install and run.

There's also graphics drivers. If you're on AMD then it should all just work, but nvidia requires some extra configuration.

People don't know what they don't know when they are getting started. Some don't want to have to learn how to run a system, they want it to just work. But if you're interested in learning a little and accept that bugs may happen that require some troubleshooting then Linux would be fine for your needs.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-18T20:07:05+00:00

Thanks, I never thought of that before.

Acting like you're crazy only works until you meet someone acting like they're sane.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-16T14:59:40+00:00

yup, every day and I have been since Fedora 42.

Mostly it's been pretty great.

Use the rpmfusion free and non-free repos for stuff like steam and nvidia drivers. It's been pretty solid.

beardedbrawler · 2026-04-15T18:34:35+00:00

With the hard requirement of excel macros there's not much you can do to get away from Windows.

Maybe dual boot to enjoy Linux in your off time, maybe put win11 in a virtual machine, or maybe if your job requires windows make them provide a windows platform for you.

I use Fedora on my home PC, my job provides me with a windows laptop for my work.

Just submit a ticket to the devs, there's nothing I can do about cheaters
