I think this is beyond luck. This is astronomical. It’s orders of magnitude beyond what is lucky for our entire civilization to have produced in its entire existence

If this is reproducible without chicanery, I’m terrified

This is really neat. Thank you. I would love a script or a more newb-friendly guide, not just for me, but for a lot of other users.

Can I make a suggestion? Post your script on github or similar with a proper (open) liscence so people can make suggestions or versions they find useful.

I’ve been on the internet a long time and this made me say “what the fuck” out loud

Edit: not sure whether I should ask what this all is or if ibshpuld complement you on your “output”

3090 24gb ($800 USD) 3060 12gb x 2 if you have 2 pcie slots (<$400 USD) Radeon mi50 32gb with Vulkan (<$300 ) if you have more time, space, and will to tinker

I’m sure someone will give a better answer but this smells of a UEFI/secure boot problem. Look in your BIOS and turn those off or to legacy or “other os”

16. Postgres

18. Azure

Oof. This hits hard

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 so on point.

I get not wanting to compile your code. Its extra work and, if you’re already catering to a very thech-savvy crowd, you can let them deal with the variance and extra compile time.

BUT if you’re releasing your code for others TO USE and you don’t provide reproducible instructions, what’s the point?!?

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 am very aware if the PCIE lane circus you have to go through on consumer hardware. I considered building a used/refurb EPYC system and even borrowed one from work for a bit. It was nice, but my build would have put me somewhere near $6000 at best. Hahahahh 😭

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
