Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

What are you running with UTM?
sorry, i posted it in hopes of getting some replies from apple users, but i don't have any apple devices myself.
anyway, since utm is using qemu under the hood, i wonder how easy is it to run plain qemu on ios…
by the way, today's daily thread is so low traffic!
Cuti leh, relax first 🙈
still getting used to navigating Memmy on iOS and lemmy in general
😆 people are probably either outside or sleeping in
too bad sleeping in works for me sometimes, but not lately…
Oof :( same here tbh. I just wake up somehow, even if I should sleep more
yea, then i'll need to take a nap in the evening
All good no worries, I am a new macOS user myself and using UTM for desktop VM. Unsure how that is used in mobile environment.
that's interesting. what were you using before macos, and why did you decide to switch?
as for utm, are you running windows or linux on it?
another foss virtualization project for mac that i've come across is xhyve, but that doesn't seem to be receiving updates lately.
Mainly Windows, tried many flavors of Linux desktops before as well but the need of troubleshooting random problems have really put me off. My main PC still runs Windows, macOS for work laptop.
Running Windows in my UTM, not really using it but just in case :)
which flavors did you try?
and what problems did you need to troubleshoot (probably graphics cards?)
All the common ones, including Arch (of course) :P
Ye I am using Nvidia, so that didn't help. Usually I'll hop into Linux distro every year as my attempt to move away from Windows, the most recent issue I can recall is mixed monitor refreshed rate not playing well ie. 144hz + 60hz monitor combi.
By default, X11 uses the lowest refresh rate and apply that to both screens - OK fine. Then I switched to Wayland, the refresh rate issue gone but I noticed some apps, including Discord doesn't seem to play well, random flickering and shits. Switched back to X11, managed to fix the issue after hours of Googling. At that point, I was like meh - too much effort to get things to work for Linux. Back to Windows for my day-to-day usage, especially gaming.
how about gentoo, slackware, pardus, gobo, nixos?
i guess if you game, then linux is mostly out of the question.
Nah ain't got time for Gentoo and the less mainstream ones, may try NixOS next year. Heard good things about it.
i am very curious whether nixos does anything differently that would make your graphics experience better, but i wouldn't be too hopeful
