No one compares You stand alone To every record I own Music to my heart That’s what you are A song that goes on and on

  • Breakfast foods are my favourites. I like nearly all of them even black pudding.

    To help with your breakfast adventure, how do you feel about the American BLT.

    It’s a sandwich comprised of bacon, lettuce and tomato.

    This feels like a sad sandwich missing it’s greater appeal.

    To solve that we add cheese and an egg. Now it’s a glorious breakfast sandwich.



  • If the hardware supports virtualization it should not affect the performance of cpu bound applications. (Assuming you have adequate system resources) It does harm the performance of GPU applications however.

    It was drilled into me in school that you should be using separate environments for certain tasks.

    Software development tools can interfere with video games for example. Or running a lamp stack in the same environment as your personal data is also foolish.

    There’s also tools like podman that can help you further divide environments. (But understand it’s not a security tool)






  • It’s important not to use a mechanical drive for modern gaming (if you are). Modern games can expect to be able to load assets more or less immediately upon request, otherwise your experience and performance suffers.

    Your cpu is below the minimum requirements for windows 11 which may cause you challenges in the near future. But if you’re comfortable with Linux that’s largely mitigated.

    Disabling CSM (in your bios) and confirming your operating systems are configured for uefi is important.

    Enable “above 4G decoding” in your bios.

    Confirm your bios is up to date and that your ram profile is configured correctly. (Lookup xmp/docp)

    I believe your platform is too old for the Intel arc b580 but I suggest researching that option as it fits your budget. Otherwise a 10GB or higher GPU if you can find one. (Probably need to search the used market for something like a Radeon 6800 or better)
