I’ve only gone through the reddit thread and tbh most people seem to be bashing this method and pointing out flaws? It doesn’t seem like a magic bullet solution and dual boot seems like the better option, at least for now.

Yeah I’m the same way, there is a 6h video linked in your post but i can’t imagine myself actually going through it like that lol. I’m also in the process of trying to move data and media off my main PC but haven’t figured out the best way yet, I have an older laptop that I was considering setting up as a mini pc/home server but then there’s also the option of buying a NAS… it gets complicated and more expensive fast either way.
Can you elaborate? Googling linux vfio just gives me text heavy documents I dont understand. How does that replace dual booting and how would I use it?
Oh didn’t see that one, thanks! Of all the advice there did anything stick with you and help in the end?
Sure, but whoever’s fault it was didn’t really matter to me at the time. I just remember being annoyed at everyone constantly praising linux and saying how easy it is nowadays while I’m just jumping from one issue into another, that experience made me delay moving my main PC to it since I also have an nvidia GPU there. Had to go through like 3 different ways of installing drivers, various weird containers or bottles or wine and lutris or proton just for it all to constantly freeze or crash my PC.
It was a Dell laptop, not sure about specs but it’s at least a few years old model, nothing too high end. The plan was to keep it as a small home server for hosting various stuff, services, media in the end, with varying success.
I was so excited about Mint, seemed like the perfect distro to try but then I had nothing but issues on an laptop with nvidia. PopOS worked better right out of the box though
So what do I do if I want to install VSCode? The official installation guide on their website says to download the deb file, why is such a big and popular tool not in the repository right away? Or better yet, if this is the officially endorsed why how are we to figure out the proper alternative?
