From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

Debian or plain Ubuntu has been my go to. Virtio GPU Pass-through to a windows kvm with looking glass for easyanticheat or battle eye games

So I had the incredible forethought to not get a cpu with graphics. facepalm Is it still possible to do virtio pass through? Like I do it on my server, I just don’t know how it would work on desktop.

Kinda sorta if you want to have to detach the GPU when switching between os's. I have an old old quadro for my Linux os and pass through a 3070 to windows 11. Also got a 12700kf with no igpu

I might have room for a small graphics card. If my Wi-Fi isn’t taking that slot. Might need to do that.
