Actually I need a solution that runs on Linux too as I’ll be moving this machine off Win11 at some point :/

Edit: #PCem is on Linux but on this laptop I may struggle to run a P166 😭 #VMware is apparently available on #Linux and others have said that it’s more stable, but I don’t know what the driver situation is like; every VM vendor has abandoned 9x support 😢 — my #Win95 VM uses the #VirtualBox 6.0 drivers as those were the last to support 9x

Grrrr #VirtualBox is pissing me off.

One of my USB devices absolutely refuses to work with it.
It can be seen with lsusb, it shows up in VB's list, but then it describes itself as an "Unknown Device" and gives NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057).

Please #Linux nerds - explain what trivial thing I am missing!

(Yes, I have updated to latest versions, my account is in the vbox group, I have rebooted, USB is connected directly.)

@friesenjung Hallo, ich stelle auf #LinuxMint um und habe auch das Problem, dass ich von einigen Programmen beruflicher Natur nicht von Windoof wegkomme. #wine und #winebottles probiert, läuft leider nicht stabil. Ich werde jetzt Win11 in einer #virtualbox betreiben, für die wenigen Programme. und mittels github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloa auf das Notwendigste runterstrippen. So der Plan ...

Well, it looks like I appeased the MINIX microkernel god(desse)s and my build is continuing to proceed.

Folding@Home defaults to using 1 less thread than the # of threads your CPU has, which typically gets rounded down to the nearest even number from what I've seen. So it's using 14 CPU threads, plus the GPU, leaving 1+ CPU thread free for a MINIX VM.

There's a thermal budget the active CPU cores have to consider, but I'm not in a hurry, as long as the build builds. 🤞

Lessons learned from setting up a Linux desktop VM on a Windows 11 Home host

VirtualBox is more functional than Hyper-V Manager but much slower. There are a lot of tricks for getting this right. If you turn off Secure Boot you might permanently lock yourself out of Windows.

VirtualBox will not launch any of my Windows VMs. I suspect there's an incompatibility there somewhere because I recently updated the kernel. Or could be that overzealous deleting of files from my limited storage space made me shoot myself in my own foot.

But after purging and reinstalling a couple of versions of VBox and trying to make a new VM it still won't go.

Guess I'll try Boxes...
