Going to duel boot? If so .... nice! On a different subject.... How to remove windoze bloatware... https://www.ninjaone.com/blog/how-to-find-remove-bloatware-from-windows-11/ The article above is wrong... Step 1. Install Linux over your Windoze OS Step 2. Your done, Windoze bloatware is gone. Enjoy a PC that doesn't nag you, install software you don't want and is more secure along with FREE software you can use to do most of the work you need to do. (provided you don't need a professional app that isn't available for LInux. For that VM or duel boot) LOL

Do you need the graphics card? Does it help? If so you can add a second one and have it output to that (the virtualbox) from my understanding at least. It can be also useful if you want to play some games (that are modded and/or use anticheat) that you can't in linux or at least not well. I am aware of the concept but I haven't gone there... yet. I would like to in the future and then just have windows be my bitch. (being able to create a quick snapshot of Windoze and return it to that image when it stops all its bullshit) another thing you can possibly do if you need more than the virtual box is remote access to a windoze machine. Good for work not as good with gaming as there might be a lag depending on the network you have. I might start messing with that as I have several cheap old laptops (and likely will get easy access to more due to Micro$oft making people buy new computers to get the latests and "greatest OS" they offer. I am honestly waiting for them to declare that they are the admin and you have no options other than the look (limited changes like screensaver and background) in the future. Everything from the time (using your location data) to how you store the data you have (using their setup folders) so that they can properly "assist" you to prevent you loosing data. (I.E. data mine and stick their nose up your ass further than a proctologist) Aparently we will get more Windoze. The new consoles will be more "PC" that will be able to have third party stores etc.

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=343 Depends on the version you use. 2.x has a gold version and 2008 and 2009 shows silver. You can also try Blender and see if you can get that to work for you and do what you want. It would be a slight learnig curve since you are used to using 3dmax but the same principles should apply.

I've read that Oblivion is being redone. In a different engine. I believe Unreal or the like. Not confirmed by Bugthesda but according to the sources a strong reality. Recently I also just learned that another studio is doing it. Rmember when another studio worked their IP? How good it was? Such a dam shame that they can't do their own work and make it great. It would be awefully funny if they do re release the game and it be a hit and they had nothiing to do with it beyond allowing some other studio to makeit.

I will be happy to take that e waste.

I am not stating that they didn't have some secret sause that the general public doesn't have. There are reports of issues with Photoshop using some of the tools provided. I don't know about 3dmax etc. Now I haven't done emulators as my laptops are work laptops not graphics powerhouses so I haven't experimented with it yet. However, you might check thisi out for your PS3 emulation There are lots of emulators freely available to run various consoles and games. There are also many roms however, some might be ... shady not techincally legal but depends on where you are and such. I doubt your Russian friends were too concerned with copy write laws lol If you have an old computer laying around give it a try. You might not have the power to run the stuff but you can play with it and gain confidence and then decide if you want to get serious. As I understand it doesn't take much to do PS3 games. Update on my Kubuntu system. It is still pretty good. It is on the old laptop and running fairly well even the Snaps which are told to be slow and crap is running decently. No major problems yet. Other than an issue with a program that I never used before so the problem could be between my fingers and keyboard. eventually I plan on getting one of those mini computers or build one dedicated to my Linux gaming experience. (mostly for the emulators to play DOS and other games) as I have a dedicated windoze computer for my regular gaming (no need for the proton and other tools. However, perhaps if and when Steam ever gets officially released for the general public I might change it. I can also with some work have a duel boot and have both on it. Not sure if I want to do that. I had issues in the past playing around with my gaming computer and had to fix mods and games constantly which took me away from my gaming sessions. Now I don't even spend much time modding as it is to have to screw around with it. Currently partially setup Fallout games and TES games still need to set up various frameworks and of course texture mods (god they make horrible characters. Dam NPCs got hit with the ugly sticks) The main one that I am using is Sims 4 (yep Kendo I know what you just called me reading this lol) It is because it is the most stupid easy game to mod. Eventually I will setup both WW and DD (of course different mod folders which are renamed ) AT least that was the plan. Enough of that. This is a LINUX thread! Oh to anyone that is interested (and would require a bit of work) but useful for those that know all the programs they want to use. Kubuntu has an option to load a light version when installing it. None of the extra software. I personally found the software they give reasonable but if you have specific needs or desires you can install them afterwards on a clean light system. Next step (when I get off my lazy ass) is to install Linux on an external drive (usb c) and then setup it the way I want (perfect no personal data) then just use that as a base to update and install on all my computers lol. Also could be used for a fast system recovery since it is simple to run Linux on a external drive no windows restrictions there.

You can also check into changing your desktop to KDE and then choosing the windows image. At least as I have been told. I would'n't have changed to Kubuntu if it wasn't for the snaps. I didn't want to experiment on my current Mint laptop. Try this? I haven't followed it so not sure but it should give you an example of what is going on and what you can do. From my understanding you can change the destop like you open a program (well not quite but it is doable. just it will take more resources as you have both running. ) If I am understaning what you are saying ... then there are lots of "cracks" for windows programs currently. Way more than previously when you would have been on Nexus. It might take a bit to find all of them and get them installed with some command line work but it can be done. You can run many windows programs pretty well and in some cases better than on windows. You can also duel boot and have both working at the same time with. On two different monitors like they were two different machines. Lots of stuff can be done.

Sorry for double post. An app that I use is https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/ sudo apt install dupeguru above is the command. Doesn't show up on Kubuntu and likely their various flavors store. Raited as save and used by many. Still be careful and make a complete backup (or save one of your 3 copies on seperate drives .. you have that right... RIGHT? ) then use it and see if the results is what you want. I need this because I am an internet pack rat and often have downloaded something I downloaded sometimes years ago. Don't forget to sudo apt update followed by sudo apt upgrade before any command upgrades.

@Doublezero and anyone that is thinking of getting linux. I tried Kubuntu today. It has a nice base software. Debian based (like Mint) and looks pretty good. It does have Snaps which I don't like so much but it does give other options for example in my case, setting up a complex program required jumping through a lot of crap to get it to work properly. Manually installing many components and rebooting mutiple times. IT did however have a snap option. Much easier however did require me to input the permissions manually in the console but it nicely gave me the list (complete command by the way not making it hard for noobs) More difficult than a sudo apt install program command but not bad if I say so myself. Those that like customizations so far there seems to be way more with the plasma GUI (what people see when they sit in front of the computer showing their information) Like Mint there are downloadable options that have a ready made pack for you to get close to where you want to be. Haven't gotten into it very deep yet just installed it. By the way, 20 minutes was all it took to install and update (from an old iso however same version #. Upgrading is a different story all together, not a rolling release) including installing all my needed apps that i come to learn to enjoy. Screen capture and video players and the like. Even changing the GUI look and feel. (I made a mistake and missed the encrypt the drive option on the installation process and had to reload lol didn't take much time at all) Still the same base which means anythign you can do in Unbuntu or Mint can very likely be done in Kubuntu. I was resistant to follow what somenone I work with suggested as his daily driver for the past several years. He stated that Snaps were ... well snappier. lol They are indeed. I have this installed on my oldest laptop An old windoze 10 8th gen i5 laptop. Not a power house by any means. Now if only I can get the spell corect to work on the web and discord. Opps I forgot to get discord. Guess it will be 20 minutes and a half to set up ... lol

https://www.boredpanda.com/hoa-wants-war/ HOA thinking they own the Farmers land. lol

I can't understand why someone would want a HOA. We had some issues when my family bought a new house and moved there when I was a teen. The issue was people were working out of a garage reparing cars. Their personal garage. This was against the law. They also had car parts and at one time stripping down a car to sell for parts. This is what people think an HOA protects against. They likely do but so does the police and aldermen. It might take a bit more but the job is done and they are stopped and even move. The only thing that sucked was during the couple of months this was going on in order to get taken seriously, everybody had to stop working on their personal cars. Yes, it is legal to work on YOUR car but illegal to work for $$$ on others cars in a residental area out of a residental garage. I was a teen and of course scraping up money for my car and keeping it going meant that often times I and my friends (at their garage) would fix the various things that would go wrong with a 20 year old 500 dollar car. We had to stop but fortunatly many of the parents would aid their childen with the cost of labor at a mechanic shop (but we did have to come up with the parts cost and of course they were refurb instead of from a junk yard) People are fed a bullshit story that HOA is there for them. The part where they are there for them is FEES. Going around and taking out a ruler and measuring fucking grass to make sure it is in compliance and checking the fucking plants in your front yard to make sure they are accepted or fining someone for painting their house because they didn't clear it with the HOA before they did so. Due to the fact that workers ... gasp... actually have to bring their trucks and park them on the strreet! OH my god the HORROR! I read one story where a plumber wasn't allowed to bring his van to the house and had to park it outside of the HOA area and walk (a long way) with the equipment and supplies to the house. Needless to say the plumber said fuck this and didn't take the job. The home owner had a water damage all over and couldn't shower all due to some HOA asshole not being reasonable. Going on a power trip.

If I was you. I'd go where you got the mod. Ask support there. They also might have a discord / patron or whatever link for better support.

as far as I am aware this is a new project. If so they are continuning. I can believe EA would be that stupid. At least when Sweet Baby INc was getting all that money from the goverment and companies were getting money that made some sense. Having this without that. Seriously. Like the video stated. IT might make sense to get here to bring women into a game. Just not GTA. The level of violence and actions doesn't generally play into what the vast majority of women would be interested in. Don't get me wrong, they can get into all sorts of trouble and start shit and such but it is ... different. A different style. Just another company changing their formula for no dam reason.

I thought this crap would stop

I didn't see the actions after the meeting. Still doubling down? The only thing he has now is Europe and I doubt they want to cover the bill to continue. They were happy when the US was covering the largest share of the bill. Hopefully now they will see the writing on the wall and use their GDP to build up their own military. It is easy to give to health care and other social needs when they don't have to pay much for their defense.

yep saw that. It was on my feed. He really did it didn't he. Wow. Try to take on Trump IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CONFRENCE. Not the place to do that. Then the reporter that decided to chime in "what about if Russia breaks the cease fire?". Right after his outburst. She FAFO as well.
