My eepc is also 32 bit with 2gb of RAM. I did Debian 12 with LXDE from the net installer and it works really well.

Talent, passion, skill, and a worthwhile cause, all coming together on display, beautifully. It’s so imprssive what people can make.

This is almost 10 months of continuous use as a monitor spread over 5ish years.

My C1 which I’ve been using as a monitor has no burn in. Gray uniformity is not perfect and there are some minor issues with ghosting on grays but it’s still a better monitor for my uaecase than anything else. I assume newer models are even better.

I totally agree.

Also I just saw your user name and I started imagining a movie pitch in my head and laughed. Thank you for making my day

The OSX idea is very much an edge case for me. I’ve heard of it but not something I know much about.

I think I’m sold on NOT using HyperV. I will also keep it to one monitor because thats my current setup.

I’ll give it a try!

I work on remote and local machines and I feel comfortable on both. For this project, I have the advantage of all of my hardware being in my house. Latency wouldn’t be an issue over my wired network. Sunshine would allow me to game locally for sure.

I’m going to try both ways. For most of my computing, I’d be happy to get 80% of my computing power if I get the convenience of not having to reboot across OSs and the ability to snapshot a VM state

I hadnt considered this. I was thinking that if I passed an audio device directly to the guest OS, I would bypass ASIO headaches. I now realize thats naïve of me.

I will try to post some updates as I Frankenstein this build

I will look into this. I’ve heard of qubes but only thought of if for security/privacy use cases

This might/probably will be the end game for me as well. Sunshine for remote gaming and ruatdesk/ssh for work.

I’ve read through the thread and your edit sounds like the best option for me. It gives direct hardware access and gets everything working right away but allows me to try out a hypervisor solution.

I love and use containers/Distrobox all the time and it all works great except that I do run into problems with firmware and kernel modules because you can’t containerize that or I haven’t figured it out yet.

This is a real bummer for me and my gaming group. We had a couple of hundred hours in kf2

Try

docker compose up - d && docker compose logs -f

That should show you errors as things are starting.

Also three backticks and a new linestart a code block on Lemmy. Add your logs, then end it with a new line and another three backticks.

All my homies use :3000

For a solid 5 seconds I thought the JPEG rendered wrong

That sucks. I get no monitor signal but tty snaps it on. Can you ssh in? It would help you diagnose what is failing
