Yeah I get that, that's not my point. The same USB stick on Linux takes seconds, while on a MacBook air 1 rated at 10Gb/s takes 8 minutes??

Same USB stick, same file, other system.

How do you switch to no instance? There's no option like that in the settings.

I had a similar experience with a "wow the Linux community is beautiful" feeling after booting into Debian on an old rockchip CPU TV box !

Have a look at the armbian community. Those guys are on another level 😁.


Edit

To my surprise, I even discovered that you can boot Armbian on these inexpensive boxes and use them as a lightweight desktop

Oupsi ! It's late here so I didn't read till the end ! Sorry about that 😅

I still follow Tempo. The updates were already slow (every 3 months?) But it has been a long time since any news :(. Hope he/she is doing okay !

Hey, why don't you use your computer like every "normal" person?

Haha, dunno about Garuda, but EndeavourOS is a tad difficult if you never used any Linux based distro before ! Granted it's easier to setup and maintain than Arch, but still...

This reminds me of how in the past the swimming instructor just throw you in the pool even If you can't swim... Some learned the hard way others were traumatized for life.

But my understanding is that you can set up the virtual machine to “capture” the graphics card when it is booted up, and “release” it when it’s done.

The word you are looking for is GPU passthrough. You can find some guides on the web.

I Gave it a try on macOS a few days ago because brew and python is a dependencie hell and way to much workarounds to make some scripts to work properly when specific versions of packages are needed...

Miniconda actually made it work fine, without to much hassle. I'm kinda impressed.

Yep this would be the best option ! However, 450$ for laptop + drawing tablet? This seems like a dream offer...

Yeah and it depends. The fact that there is no easy way to search the fedi for similar posts right now is a bit cumbersome for sure.

I see a lot of new users post something that has already been answered a 10000x times (What's the best Linux distro? It depends !) And luckily there's always someone to give a mature and comprehensive answer to a new comer without scaring him or down voting him to oblivion. This shows that there are a lot of people who believe in Lemmy and are ready to repeat themselves to keep Lemmy alive and give new comers a warmly welcome ! However I have only seen that kind of interaction in the Linux/self-hosted communities... Most memes/ask Lemmy/political views/... Communities seems rather hostile on their own opinions and quickly become a cesspool of anger and hate :/.

Also a lot of people think because some communities have a lower user base they won't get any answer or interaction I was quite surprised to get a comprehensive answer and help in the [email protected] community which has only 50 users/month !
