• How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle) [video]

  Tl;Dr use quickemu: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu (I've been using it for annual chores on windows). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS

  Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomment-1152222880) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma

  Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes).

• Wanting to ditch windows 10 in favor of linux

  In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI. Source: about 1 year ago

• DistroSea- Test drive Linux distros online

  VM will be shutdown automatically when it's inactive for a while. I will eventually add more distros going forward. Most distro isos are downloaded using the quickget script from the wonderful quickemu project. You may directly contribute to the upstream project to get the distro added to DistroSea.

• I have been called so many slurs with this avatar (PS: Roblox stop blocking wine)

  No, it allows people to use Windows apps on Linux winehq.org you used to be able to play on Linux but roblox goes out of there way to block it and then says they will most likely not make a native Linux client https://devforum.roblox.com/t/proper-support-for-the-linux-platform/56544/112.
