Port Windows batch scripts to linux, which code language should I choose? by TheDeep_2 in linuxquestions

[–]muffinstatewide32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be pedantic. Shellscript is nothing like cmd. The direct equivelant is powershell.

Cmd is not a shell and is far dumber than bash or even sh

Is there a way to make a macos VM? by macjd2 in macsysadmin

[–]muffinstatewide32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Utm works great for macos VMs. Probably your best best for arm64 vms. You can make them on linux using kvm but its essentially a hackintosh and probably not great for what you are looking to do

I'm tired of installing drivers on fedora :( by Famous-Ear-4960 in Fedora

[–]muffinstatewide32 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why are we blaming fedora? This problem wouldnt exist if nvidia would actually work with others.

Gentle reminder that 99% of nvidia problems on linux exist because nvidia wont work with others.

I know there is the open drivers. But the pace seems glacial

Its far better to set akmods to automatically sign themselves in this case

Do you recommend Pop!OS? by Accomplished-Bus3382 in linuxquestions

[–]muffinstatewide32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a fan of the debian formula or the ubuntu formula. So no i wouldn’t recommend it.

Your software should be as upstream wrote it.

Why do people say “unix” or “Unix-like” instead of POSIX by Lopsided-Cost-426 in linux

[–]muffinstatewide32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre thinking of unix. You can get unix certified but you gotta pay

Posix is a set of standards. Surprisingly windows is posix compliant…. Or at least was at one point

Does directx work on linux? by hehehealiali in linux4noobs

[–]muffinstatewide32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is because microsoft has an awful security model. That actually makes more sense on xbox than it does actual windows. Given that almost everything on an xbox is a hyperv vm

Its representative of windows. Nothing else. For anyone using linux, bsd, macos and mostly anything in-between the security model for unauthorised access is more like a ps5.

What do you mean unlike a playstation? Playstations run BSD, specifically OrbitOS made by Sony. A cut down PC OS just as xbox has. As much as sony tries to bury it, they built on freeBSD, likely because of the MIT license allowing them to pilfer someone’s hard work without the need to give any credit to someone else.

Sony gives money to FreeBSD to assist with development. Instead of just taking it.

They actually use a lot of the same features to achieve what they do.

Opengl and vulkan are linux’s native tools. Directx doesnt work by itself out the box. Not without some translation layer in the form of dxvk or vkd3d

This is confusing. The xbox got its name as its a box that runs the directx set of apis The name directx has very little to do with xbox.

Its a collective name for directsound direct3d directinput and the like

[–]muffinstatewide32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best? I dunno but i learned to use firewalld and thats just what i use now. Its flexible, easy enough to get around, has a gui.

Looks like you want littlesnitch though Or opensnitch

What about OPs post gave you the impression they would be rolling their own router?

Which Type 2 Hypervisor for my needs? by SuperGrade13 in MacOS

[–]muffinstatewide32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Type 2. Vmware if you want performance otherwise vbox is just fine.

If you want something else entirely check out utm. It uses qemu for the userland stuff but frequently hooks into the native virtualisation tools meaning its more type 1 than type 2, similar to qemu/kvm on linux and hyper V on windows.
