I think South Africans need to be very mindful of what is currently happening. I believe there is more than what the naked eyes see, here is a few perspectives of some pod casters that have interviewed quite a few people this past year or two:

At the end of the day, you need to do your own research and validate what is truth. Be wise and be blessed

Who had the chance to make use of cubeos (programming.dev)

Hello fellow lemmers, who of you had a chance to install Cubeos and play around with it? is it something worth installing on a laptop, (assuming you have a beefy one). How does Cubeos treat Nvidia integrated graphics?

I like your thinking, I have a dual boot on laptop with windows 11 and LMDE installed, and its been a while since I booted to windows for personal use. Unfortunately for me I am still dependant of windows until Autodesk decides they will create the software I use for the linux environment as well. Until then, I'll rock on with personal "freedom" of linux, while I'm a slave to the corporate / microsoft

[-] slimsalm@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Imo, downvotes is just a disagreement. Being offended by it sounds like a "you" problem, we all have to deal with it.

Upvotes normally give me answers I need for at that moment. Downvotes makes me reassess myself.

I dont think you must read to much into the downvotes. Understand the situation why people might have downvoted you, understand why other people get upvoted, assess the situation. And most of all, understand that not everybody will always agree with you

Would start off with linux mint cinnamon edition, imo it is the easiest way to transition to linux, and dont be afraid to play around with linux. Go make mistakes, it is the best way to learn from

Single pcie passthrough for rx6800 gpu in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] slimsalm@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"UPD: Sorry. I read the reddit post. So you pass through single GPU. You load GPU bios when Windows load?"

  • I haven't done that. I was of opinion that the radeon rx6800 didn't need it as nvidia does. Will download a bios and load it with the Vm.

"In general, such a configuration will be quite complicated, but if you want to try, show the VM configuration and the start hook. Without this not easy to say."

  • I reverted back to pre-virtmanager installation, will try this evening to follow the steps, including adding the bios to the VM, will also post the configurations and hooks. Will appreciate it if I don't need to dual boot anymore, having snapshot of my windows VM will be of great value for my workflow

Single pcie passthrough for rx6800 gpu (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago by slimsalm@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

Good day, I have some really hard time getting my GPU passed through to a VM, my current host is Linux Mint 21.1. The bios setting is fine, but for some reason I get a black screen every time the VM starts. I have narrowed it down to the startup hook script, where it is stuck (meaning it wont do the following) when it is doing the ‘virsh nodedev-detach’ instruction.

virsh nodedev-detach pci_0000_09_00_0 virsh nodedev-detach pci_0000_09_00_1

Following the instructions of the following link: https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/n35k69/successful_6800_xt_passthrough_are_such_posts/

I’m not sure if the card itself have limitations, or is it LM. Just want to confirm whether I am wasting my time on this card? Or if it is the combination of both Linux and my GPU I’m basically try to do a single GPU pass-through with scripts that will release GPU from host and pass through to VM, till the VM is shut down, then the host have control over the GPU again.

If you do use any debian distro, nala is a great way to update your packages.
