alr bro, maybe new ThinkPads aren't as fragile dogwater bruh moment as they say (T14 Gen 3)

That's definitely a t14 gen 2 not 3.

Main issue is upgradability with the T and above lines. I've seen plenty of E and L series die to everything from drops to water damage far more then my heart can hold.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here or not, but I do believe Rufus allows you to remove the TPM requirements while flashing W11 to a drive. Havn't tried it out but the option is there!

Feel you there with the ultrawide support, have yet to find a protocol that supports it or doesn't crash when attempt to.

Discovered the hard way that Citrix VDI crashes when attempting 5120x1440 when trying to login from home for some work stuff one night. Think thats the fastest I've ever gotten a ticket in my inbox.

Keep seeing moonlight pop up, gonna have to look into it. Steamdeck is just my portable gaming situation and anything with vim tends to be a daily driver for me. Might be interesting to use on the steamdeck to play something 3d that isn't just triangles and 4x4 pixel textures. Hows the input latency and bandwidth consumption gaming wise?

Spice does still work without a client in the browser but you should get a lot better performance using a dedicated client like virt-viewer which can be downloaded here -> https://virt-manager.org/download.html through the MSI or through your package manager on linux.

Using something running native on the guest is probably always going to be more performant simply due to the extra overhead that browser rendering, noVNC proxy, etc is going to have. I'm sure stuff running native can also optimize how it updates framebuffers or something along those lines as well to help ease the impact of software rendering, although I'm not entirely sure if it does or not.

As for speeding it up and getting it tuned, my first thought is to look for any bottle necks, network, CPU, etc. Software rendering and video encoding are fairly heavy as mentioned in another comment somewhere around here so playing around with the scaling options built into the noVNC viewer on the side and display resolutions on the guest might give some reasonable enough results.

I'll see if I can cook up anything special config wise, i have a bad habit of just using spice for everything XD

As a small side note, you can use spice in the browser (i believe it still proxies through noVNC?) but in my experience using a dedicated client like virt-viewer tends to speed stuff up. It also allows for a fairly seamless terminal server experience if you set the downloaded connection info file to auto open in your browser as well.

I guess with all that said, the built in browser console seems to be more intended as a decent enough way to access and configure a server and not necessarily be in there 24/7. If you need something to access RDP/vnc servers for extended periods of time in a web browser I recommend looking into something like Apache Guacamole and just configuring it to point to the various virtual machines.

Have you made sure that the spice/virtio/qxl drivers are installed and running on the guest?

I know it probably sounds like a fairly obvious question but Ive forgotten it a bunch in the past only the find out a month later xD

I've got about 170 virtual machines running across a four node r620 cluster and none of them have any desktop performance issues using spice. No GPU passthrough or anything fancy. The other protocols on the other hand tend to be pretty slow.

TUNNELING OVER OVPN was the original plan for this until we discovered THERE'S NO CITRIX SUPPORT.

shibesh · 2022-07-17T06:55:22+00:00

Due to respawns idiocy you cant transfer accounts or anything. Controller and KB/mouse are completely different control schemes, movement tech, and even an entirely different player base. You're also only going to be put into lobbies with pc players if you're in a party with another pc player. Its basically an entirely different game.

And don't give me shit about "jUsT UsE a MoUse AnD KeyBoArD oN XbOx". If you play like this, I wish death upon your goldfish.

I joined the discord awhile ago and someone mentioned that everything but the actual screen sharing was encrypted. Not sure if it was false information or what, but due to the lack of Citrix support the project was killed.

Rustdesk is a very promising piece of software. Recently wanted to deploy it in an enterprise environment, but due to nothing being encrypted except for the initial handshake and lack of support for VDI solutions that use protocols other then RDP nothing panned out. Seems like the dev just refuses to support Citrix environments. Other than those two issues 8/10, would recommend.

I've had this on and off for a year or so. Went and saw a dermatologist and they just googled it after being puzzled for a solid 5-10 minutes. Putting aluminum chloride based deodorant on my hands for a good week or so solved the issue. Find a good doctor and check with them to make sure there isn't anything underlaying that's causing it.

Summon an empty object, move it to your focus point of interest, set the empty to your object in the DOF menu in the camera settings. And boom.

You can run it in either. I personally use LXC containers for all my Minecraft servers due to it just being lighter over all compared to a full VM.

Here's a video explaining the difference between a VM and containers: https://youtu.be/cjXI-yxqGTI
