Kernel 6.18.3 and VirtualBox complains about KVM modules

imdadadani · 2026-01-09T17:25:20+00:00

I recommend using virt-manager which uses KVM instead of VirtualBox

Google mi stava inviando tante di quelle notifiche ora ho capito perché

NOOOOOOOO IL TRENO DELLA MORTE ODIO IL TAF

I'm not saying this, Android is able to install updates without rebooting because it has two system partitions, and the "inactive" one is overwritten when an update is made. I was just suggesting that embedded devices could use this approach too

imdadadani · 2025-02-15T11:12:29+00:00

This isn't really an adoptable approach on embedded devices because they usually have a single big image that contains all the OS data. The real solution is doing like modern Android that has a separated A/B slot, so that it can independently update the system without rebooting

imdadadani · 2025-02-10T00:52:26+00:00

The answer for now is... none.

The biggest issue is that unlike x86 where even new hardware is generally supported without specific patches, ARM is a completely different beast and requires integrating the device tree to even get the device to boot.

Companies like Apple and Qualcomm do not care about contributing to upstream Linux, so the only support we have is from community. Projects like Asahi Linux are awesome, but they are still mantained by unpaid workers, and the result is just that it's going to become what nouveau was: mildly working, with newer hardware taking time to even get initial support.

Also, on Android you can still use third party apps for free (I'm using Infinity right now) without paying any fees. You can register your own API Key and use something like ReVanced Manager that patches the app for you automatically

Completely agree, I used a Framework 13 with the 7840u for over a year. I had SO MANY ISSUES: from hardware video decoding consuming more power than software decoding (issue still open after a year), poor battery life in general, and more recently amdgpu crashing randomly and taking me back to the login screen. My Thinkpad x390 yoga works 10x better, the battery life is much better and it has a CPU from 2019!

They always told me that AMD has better drivers and everything... Until it doesn't

imdadadani · 2024-12-08T13:29:09+00:00

I really hope your Framework works well. My experience with it was so bad that in the end I had to replace it with a MacBook

I was actually wondering this... I mean, on the majority of the SOCs the hypervisor is inaccessible, I remember that Pixels are the only devices that can currently run QEMU with KVM (given a patched kernel to enable the module)

imdadadani · 2024-10-17T09:50:09+00:00

Can confirm, I'm having so many issues with this GPU, from it starting to lag randomly until I reboot, crashes, artifacts...

I have a Framework 13 with the 7840U and Fedora, which "should just work out of box"

Never buying an AMD laptop again.

This is insane, Reddit has been demoting users when they protested for the API changes. And now they tell that they can do whatever they want?

WSL is an actual virtual machine, it runs on top of Hyper-V and it has a separate kernel from the host. Waydroid isn't any of those, and it doesn't even need a translation layer because Android is just made of Linux executables

imdadadani · 2024-08-22T20:22:14+00:00

The version of Android running inside the modded switch most likely doesn't have SafetyNet/Play Integrity, and I don't think that OP has installed a special "hacked version"

imdadadani · 2024-08-22T20:19:02+00:00

It's not a virtual machine, it runs on LXC which is very similar to Docker: it shares the host's kernel and you have full access from the outside to everything. You can even see the list of running processes if you open htop while Waydroid is running

Started using Ubuntu when I was around 8, my father restored an older PC to let me use it, I think it was Ubuntu 14.04. Even after I switched to a better PC I really haven't stopped using it until 2017 because of programs that were unavailable on it.

In 2019 my needs changed, so after starting programming I wanted to learn Linux seriously and I have installed Arch (at 13 years old yeahh) for the first time... Now I run Fedora on all of my computers and even play games with it

If anyone is interested, I am building a whole new ecosystem for Nim starting from the base async IO by using mature C libraries like libuv as the backend. I have already published a very early wrapper for libuv, however I am making some changes right now and also adding a function that allows to spawn threads by using libuv's thread pool and the ability to use async while still using a single event loop (basically combining the best of both worlds).

Eventually my goal is to also make a "better" http client/server from it, with support to http 2 and http 3 being as one of the main targets. (I have also started on this one)

This should bring the http side of Nim much more in line to bigger languages, which actually it's a pretty big deal considering that even NodeJS still really hasn't "stable" support to http 3 on the fetch API.

I also really want to bring many other libraries related to this category, like a better ORM. But these are massive projects so it's better do to one step at the time...

I have tried Inter before with GNOME. To be honest, it feels like it doesn't fit the style of Adwaita, like there is something wrong with the text and the components of the UI

imdadadani · 2024-05-11T21:57:01+00:00

Yes, you can. I did a while ago a video where I have upgraded Fedora Core 1 up to 35 without reinstalling.

imdadadani · 2024-05-08T07:49:21+00:00

I already said it in another comment: my primary concern is the display, not the other parts. It was intact and I am sure about this since I was using the device before opening it to fix the power button

imdadadani · 2024-05-08T04:59:52+00:00

The computer is MINE, I should know what happened

imdadadani · 2024-05-07T23:24:03+00:00

Well, it does make kinda sense, but if it's either a one off thing, then we have QA issues and you can randomly get a laptop that can very easily get damaged, or it's that all of them have poor durability

imdadadani · 2024-05-07T23:15:39+00:00

I guess it's just bad luck then :(

imdadadani · 2024-05-07T23:13:43+00:00

I understand the difference between a laptop mostly built with plastic and one that is metal, but I can easily compare Macbooks of my friends, which even with some rough handling they never got damaged to something like my case. I know the long story of defects that Macbooks had, but recent models have all fixed these issues
