In the Linux world we have this great training routine called broken updates that forces users to regularly rediscover the magic of text mode. If you're lucky enough to run a specialized graphics card you get to experience this almost every update.

We have a similar program for training users how to cope without WiFi.

Don't forget, the CEO is always the fall guy for the owners

I think the most difficult part will be keeping the charging port connected 😅

Good luck finding a new CEO, I bet the title will change and responsibility will be diluted but nothing else will change.

I understand why it can seem like justified revenge, but really a CEO is an employee. The business itself is made up of it's owners.

Edit: revenge

Wild guess without looking anything up: looks like your VM UEFI isn't finding the windows bootloader.

Can you enter the boot manager menu? For GRUB I had to add a boot entry in my ancient UEfi firmware before it would boot.

It's also possible that your VM is set to boot from a device that isn't available for some reason. Can you look at more detailed logs? Something like the qemu-system console output? Maybe it would be in your kernel logs or journalctl

Do you get any output when you try to boot?

Maybe mount a win 11 install media and try to repair?

Does your VM meet win 11 requirements? (Idk what these are but I hear it needs Tpm 2.0)

I've been trying to run a stable system with never overcommit and no swap . It's impossible. this is the thing that may make me a kernel developer once I retire.

I've settled for tons of swap with never overcommit but I still can't do normal things sometimes.

The downside to swap is wearing out your disk and latency when swapping, it's good to have swap usage before ram is gone to let the system have more ram available for random allocations. My goal is to never need the oom killer, but it seems like many apps (chrome and FF mostly) basically require overcommit to function.

Right now my system has 30% ram used and is still keeping 700MB is swap. I would recommend to try benchmarking your settings but I don't do that myself so I don't know what to use 😅.

You can try disabling swap with swapoff, then your system is definitely maximizing your ram use, just be prepared for the oom killer to wreck your session.

Lol to hating c++ and advocating for java

Use three different monochromatic filters in front of your optics, you have three different telescopes.

Colors? Like Jet or Hot?
