  • Is Orca that resource intensive? I’m running it in a container with KasmVNC and have never really checked out the resource usage. Admittedly it’s on one of my local servers in another room. I guess it’s how large your projects are too.

    Edit: maybe it’s just my small projects













  • I run my 4800hs / 1650 laptop in hybrid mode, it’s ‘OK’ on battery but I bought it used and it’s seen some usage (70% health) in its past life. I’ve been using hyprland for maybe 6 months now and support has only improved with time.

    You will run into issues with specific multiplayer titles in a VM, depending on what you plan on playing having a 2nd partition might be the way to go. Some titles won’t care being in a VM, some will flat-out refuse to work or kick you after some time, many are compatible out of the box under Linux / Proton.

    Supergfxctl is a handy tool for toggling your dedicated card, my laptop is ASUS so I can’t be certain on the level of compatibility you may see with said tool.




  • The volumes of cash that Microsoft throw at retailers (custom builders / big box) is astronomical. Worked for a relatively small retailer with some international buying power. EOFY “MDF” from Microsoft was an absurd figure.

    Our builders would belt out 3 - 6 machines per day, depending on complexity of the custom build, the pre-built machines were in the 6+ per day range.

    Considering the vast majority of those machines were running windows (some sold without an os), from a quick estimate after too many beers we were out of pocket 10% at most of the bulk buy price for licence keys after our “market development funds” came through.

    It’s fucking crook.
