For games you can use Lutris and/or heroic with WINE and Proton.

RGB stuff you can use OpenRGB.

The Anker webcam doesn’t work with your Linux install? What model?

I hear Gimp is getting a big update here in the near future. Not sure your use case. I don’t do much photo editing anymore.

Virt-Manager is straight forward, and is a GUI that can work with QEMU.

Hope this helps :)

You didn’t calm down in your old age? Go shake your cane at some clouds in a different yard gramps.

Take a breather, walk away from the internet. Touch some grass. Go do something productive with your time instead of being an insignificant sad angry little person.

Have the day you deserve

If I may ask, what specific hardware?

For my use case with proprietary hardware I use USB Passthrough with QEMU (Virt-Manager)

Your comment is more useless than the meme comment you were responding to.

Don’t like something, scroll on.

Are you being pissy just to be pissy?

Glad to hear another success story of someone who dropped Windows.

I dropped Windows on all of my machines over a month ago. My 2 desktops and 1 laptop I own are on Arch. I can’t fully escape Windows completely due to music production software I use due to lack of support for the hardware on Linux. (Thanks Line6…) So I run a Windows VM in QEMU with USB passthrough, but with no network access.

I wrote an alias to count days its been since I switched to Linux full time.

It wasn’t a difficult switch for me. Even with the learning curve. I actually enjoy the tinkering and learning aspect.

That’s what I want to know. I don’t know where to begin looking?

I am fully with you!

Thank you! Wish I was the one who figured it out. I am just sharing what was taught to me!

That is exactly the reason I joined Lemmy, to ditch centralization.

I will always try to share the solutions, even if I find them elsewhere. Changes are it could help someone else out!

I cannot take credit for finding the solution. Someone on a discord chat I found was able to help me. The fix:

1 Open a terminal:

Unlock the LUKS partition:

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 arch

2 Mount the BTRFS filesystem: Since BTRFS has subvolumes, you need to mount the correct subvolume:

mount -o subvol=@ /dev/mapper/arch /mnt

3 Mount the necessary virtual filesystems:

mount --types proc /proc /mnt/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --make-rslave /mnt/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --make-rslave /mnt/dev

4 Bind the boot partition (if separate): If you have a separate boot partition, you need to mount it too:

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

5 Chroot into your system:

arch-chroot /mnt

6 Fix your fstab: Ensure that your /etc/fstab file inside the chroot environment is correctly set up. You might need to generate a new one using genfstab:

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

7 Update GRUB: Reinstall and update GRUB to ensure it is correctly installed:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Exit the chroot environment:

exit

Unmount all the filesystems:

bash

umount -R /mnt
cryptsetup luksClose arch

8 Reboot:

reboot
