Very wholesome.

So I’ve been messing with my corporate laptop…

This is what we call a “bad idea”.

Can’t speak to anti-cheat, but I’ve run a Windows 11 VM with GPU passthrough on Proxmox. I got basically identical performance from the hardware, considering the reduced ram/cpu count in the VM. USB port passthrough was glitchy though. I didn’t spend too much time messing with it but it definitely was functional. Battlenet (World of Warcraft, Overwatch, etc…) worked fine. I don’t recall any game that didn’t run but, again, I didn’t do too much.

Yep, didn’t mean it to sound like I was putting it down. Sounds like a cool concept.

Just signed up myself, about 40k in line it seems. Sounds like reinventing Trillian/Gaim/Pidgin/etc…

NAS vs Jellyfin isn’t really how to look at it. You still need to have the files stored somewhere, and Jellyfin can just access the files from wherever you store them. As others say, Jellyfin adds some convenience. Think of it like Netflix but for your local files. You can install an app on your phone, laptop, tablet, or just access Jellyfin’s built in web interface on laptop/etc… It pulls down thumbnails and show information automatically, and you can set up different accounts/profiles to track show progress and favorites for multiple people.

No book needed.

I wonder how many files I’ve accidentally left that in while I wasn’t in vi.

I haven’t used it in a long time, but Overdrive has info here.

Overdrive!

Overdrive.

I too am in the “Only stuck on Windows for gaming” crowd. My previous jaunt going full Linux was by far the most successful, but Nvidia’s poor Linux support and performance once again led me back to the Microsoft world on Desktop.

re: context menu

Don’t trust me here, or any post giving commands like this. You can search for steps to revert the context menu to pre-simplified versions. You can do the same as this command manually using regedit and finding the correct keys/etc… After this, reboot and you have your menu back to a usable state.

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
