If you can recall this long story, I would love to hear it.

On another note, Pinta is a clone of Paint.net that you can get via Flatpak.

I do have OS 9.2 on qemu.

Also, I do use another Grassmunk theme on a few of my machine, Chichago95.

To be fair, libreboot support is very rare regardless.

Huh. My issue seems different, but I’ll still test that flag to see if it changes anything. My problem looks like the device doesn’t return to host after VM shutdown, possibly because of the reset bug (based on my observation of dmesg), which I hadn’t encountered after about a year of GPU passthrough VM usage.

On one hand, I did go through heck at one point trying to get the config.plist right to no avail. I then found some guy’s preconfigured OpenCore image made specifically for virtual machines (I usually avoid such things, but as a VM is basically a standardized platform, I’ll take it), upon which my life has been very easy ever since. Passthrough was just a matter of copying my Windows passthrough scripts.

One day, I want to buy a Google Pixel and run LineageOS, but I’m not in the position to do that right now.

I have similar feelings about Mac, probably in part because of my former Windows use as well. On one hand, I like how Mac’s terminal and development workflow (e.g availability of gcc) are more natively Unix-like, but for that, there’s also limited OpenGL support and no Vulkan support. Meanwhile, making Windows more “Unix-y” is as simple as installed Cygwin, and fixing the menu is simple a matter of installing OpenShell. (Of course, having to contort Windows gets annoying after a while, thus why I use Linux these days.)

I go to the host folder I want to transfer files from and run ‘’’python3 -m http.server’’’. Then (I can’t remove if I use ‘’’ip a’’’ to find the IP address of the host or if I used mDNS), I use the guest web browser to download files.

I’ll have to try that. What I have tried so far is running a different kernel version and making sure my driver blacklists are correct (I found that the GPU shouldn’t ever connect to snd_hda_intel. It briefly eas again, but after fixing it, I still had the problem.).

Woah. An interesting setup indeed.

KDE almost became my default when I was installing probably my first bare-metal Linux distro a few years back - Debian Buster, to be precise - on an old laptop. However, something borked with the network manager installation, so when I tried again, I chose XFCE, which worked (probably by coincidence - I probably just did something dumb the first time) and has been my go-to ever since.

From a programming perspective, I definitely like Qt a lot over GTK, though it’s not like I write GUI applications all the time anyhow.

I have two GPUs - an RX 550 hooked to the monitors and 580 for VMs. Until recently, once the VM shut down, the 580 was able to return to Linux and be used again via PRIME - no reset bug. It randomly stopped working and I’ve tried to debug it to fix the problem to little avail.
