Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Wouldn't bare metal be the best for that?

    Technically yes, but WSL2 is remarkably close to optimal in terms of throughput. Unlike WSL1 (a type 2 hypervisor), WSL2 requires Hyper-V (a type 1 hypervisor), meaning Windows also runs as a VM once it’s enabled. The Linux vGPU driver still needs to go through the Windows Nvidia driver as far as I know, but that is seldom the bottleneck for CUDA applications.

    true it uses a Microsoft Hypervisor Virtual Machine
