You've probably heard it, but just in case:

Gang of Four - Entertainment!

So it turns out the only sources of the claim I've found are memes, so it might not actually be true (though sources are a lot harder to find with 95% of Reddit down).

Well, Spez was a mod of /r/jailbait before advertisers made them take it down....

Arch.

I've done a reasonable amount of distrohopping, but I always come crawling back because I've never found anything that can compete with the AUR.

I wanted to go the VM route about a year ago, but I ended up deciding that it was just too much hassle and have kept my Windows dual boot for the extremely rare occasions that I need to use it.

I started out using the GTX 770 from my previous PC as the secondary graphics card to pass through to the VM - which is a lot easier than doing it with a single graphics card - but given how often I actually need to use Windows, I didn't feel particularly comfortable with the extra power use.

So I decided I'd have a go at single GPU passthrough - which took me probably about six months of on/off (mostly off, admittedly) tweaking to get to a usable state. The first time I managed to boot Windows from my Linux install, I nearly cried. After a while fiddling with it, I decided that, as technologically awesome as it is, it really wasn't that much different than running it on bare metal. The straw that broke the camel's back was my inability to get Windows to gracefully hand the GPU back to Linux, despite the fact that it should have been as simple as reversing the steps to give Windows the GPU in the first place.

Troll 2 is unintentionally one of the most entertaining films ever made.
