  • The only way I see myself ever giving it another go is if I manage to get into my NixOS setup for easy replication or something, too much manual tweaking otherwise.

    The compromise I arrived at after I migrated to Linux was booting windows off a VHD file on a USB SSD when I really need it. That way I get a portable, fully performant install without it wasting any disk space or messing with my partitions.


  • I’m no expert but I see no obvious red flags there, should be good to go!

    My first idea was to buy one PC with two GPUs with passthrough of GPU and USB input (sitting anyway close), but I got the impression, that is at this moment more something to tinker, then to run “in production”.

    I’m under the same impression, I check it every few months but it looks clunky and not worth the trouble. Not something I’d like to rely on right now, that’s for sure.









  • Ideally, you need at least some basic understanding to use the vast majority of languages. The problem isn’t even writing the code itself, you can definitely just memorize the keywords and some basic concepts and have at it. If you ask me, the real issue is the availability, amount and overall quality of documentation and learning material if you go about it that way.

    I have a few coworkers who skipped the learning English part and learned most everything from other non native speakers and they tend to be crippled by often not really being able to make use of official documentation or keep up with new things, since the vast majority of content out there is in English. It also has the unfortunate side effect of pushing them to stick with whatever it is they learned way back when and not really looking for better ways of getting things done.

    So basically, you can pull it off without knowing English but it’s going to be suboptimal and/or painful IMO.







  • I’ve used btrfs for gaming and deduping in particular helps a lot with steam prefixes since it’s a lot of individual folders with similar files. I don’t have hard data but the before and after comparison I’ve made after getting my deck from ext4 to btrfs left me more than satisfied. I’d guess compression doesn’t hurt either, although again I don’t have actual numbers.
