Not really sure how dualbooting or vms work at their core. I’m kind of over windows and want to swap, always liked the customizability aspect and have been using Linux more and more for self hosting purposes. Was wondering if I setup linux on my external ssd using a vm if I could change it from vm to a dualboot drive after I’m done setting it up. That way I could setitup and swap to it while keepign my original ssd with my windows install,. and not have to deal with dualbooting and going back and forth while setting up?
Can I make a vm of my current windows machine backup and run that in a linux setup?
I’ve switched to using it as my daily driver, and depending on what applications you use, the water is either fine, or is full of piranhas.
Using VR, for example, is still a massive pain in the ass, and requires me to boot into windows when the tenuous stack of software driving it on linux decides to stop working because it’s a full moon out.
Touch anything the wrong way, and you’re digging through random config or build files to fix it.
VR nevee worked for me the way it should like on Windows.
It did work many times and was playable. But soft stuttering was there. People literally gaslighted me on the internet that there is no stuttering while there obviously is
Stuttering is present in SteamVR due to lack of async reprojection. Thats why I’m using Envision which is an interface for a stack of a bunch of different open source VR stuff.
It’s quite a bit more finicky and fragile, but it at least has reprojection.
Is there an easy Guide? Would love to play around with it on Arch Linux with Wayland KDE
https://lvra.gitlab.io/ is a good start.
Some stuff you’ll have to mess around with.
I’ve found that some random issues like unexpected frame stutter or VR headset not being detected need a full power off of everything to fix sometimes. (Power off / disconnected. Reboots don’t work)
