Yeah but I think Linux VM is more convenient for me as I don’t have to switch back and forth between operating systems. I can have both operating systems in front of me at once.
I can keep the VM running while playing games with my friends on the Windows host.
I kind of like having Linux on a VM in Windows. I only use Linux for things like web browsing or writing papers which a VM can do. For gaming, I prefer Windows to avoid any problems I might encounter (like anticheats).
This gives me a near-ideal set up with access to both Linux and Windows. I just wish my Linux VM can do 120+hz and GPU passthrough.
I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.

I’ve been using GIMP for so long and I don’t know how to use Photoshop so all the “weird” things about GIMP is normal for me.
Also feel like if I learn Photoshop, I’ll never touch GIMP again. D:
I really like SVT. AOM (or whatever the default was for ffmpeg) was terribly slow. Now I have to try out rav1e.
Unplug the computer? Got it.
Porkbun asks for your ID now so that might not be “privacy-respecting” but their CS is very helpful from my experience.
I have domains in Netim and Spaceship, and I have no problems with either so far.
There used to be a subreddit called r/unexpecteddebian or something. I think it’s gone now.
pict-rs has the option to compress images. Ours is set to WEBP with 1280 pixels either side max.
I don’t remember which update it was but newer versions of Lemmy use significantly less database storage.
I recommend checking out lowendtalk.com if you’re shopping for VPS hosting providers.
Personally, I recommend AmogOS.
I really want to say Gandi but they charge too much now and removed the free mailboxes.
Anyway, I’ll vouch for Netim. Their prices are similar to (old) Gandi and they have a mailbox too. I’m looking into Spaceship for some other domains because they’re really cheap.
I remember subbing to r/KaliLinux to read posts by hackerman kiddies trying to figure out Linux.
Good times.

There’s a lot of subs like these which I don’t want to name. Basically, subs with anti-corpo principles but refuses to leave corpo Reddit. I’m happy for the subs who are still dark even until now (and even more reason to be now that Reddit is deleting older DMs and removing awards/coins).
I use vmware and it’s an okay experience for me.
