I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month, quite happy about it so far.

My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.

However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.

It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.

The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it’s an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.

No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS…

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

You can ditch YouTube,
without actually ditching YouTube content,
through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

My favorite ones:

• Desktop: Invidious + Piped
• Android: Newpipe + Tubular

Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)

I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:

Hope these will prove useful to you :)

• Communication: Matrix
• Browsing: I2P
• Communities: ActivityPub / Mastodon
• Software Forge: Fogejo + ForgeFed
• OS: Linux
• Money: Monero

Since they meet at least one of,
if not all of the following:

• Decentralized / Federated
• Sensorship resistant
• Privacy respecting
• Open source

Waydroid is made for Wayland.

You can however run it on X-Server,
through a Wayland session window
(e.g. KWin_Wayland, Cage, Weston, …):
https://docs.waydro.id/faq/setting-up-waydroid-only-sessions

I wrote a tool to help improve the user experience on X-Server,
however currently it only supports KDEs Kwin_Wayland:

Oh I see, thank you!
Will definitely play around with that tomorrow :)

High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that’s not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄

Good luck! :)

No easy way to set it up I’m afraid.

But if you’re interested,
I posted all the bookmarks I made, with tutorials and tools, when I set mine up here:

It does run Photoshop smoothly on my setup :)

Back when I did my setup,
there wasn’t a clear guide on the matter though, and it was rather hard to setup.

If you’re interested, I can link you all my bookmarks on the matter which I made back then though, however none of them were for Fedora / Nvidia specific.

For the pass-through mode,
I use VFIO (Virtual Function Input Output) with kernel / grub configurations, to always dedicate one of my 2 GPUs for the KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine).

You’d be looking for hot-plugging/hot-swapping your GPU instead, to un-attach your GPU from Linux and re-attach it to your Windows KVM when it boots.
Back when I was setting up my system, this was not possible on AMD yet due to a bug (Can’t vouch for Nvidia or if the AMD bug is fixed by now though)

For me it works very well,
see my comment here:
https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/8950112

However I don’t play anything with kernel based anti-cheat, so can’t vouch for that

Root on Android is a necessity for me.
I’ve been rooting all droids I use for the past 10 years or so.

Imagine using Linux as a power user,
without being able to use sudo/su.

Also, Magisk does not just allow any application to access root, you have to manually allow apps to make use of it.

Just like administrator rights on any other OS,
things only go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing, and then grant rights to something malicious.

Gotta admit, it was very hard to setup initially.
However it’s been working perfectly ever since I did.
Been using it for about a year or 2 now.

Also when I linked the Arch wiki,
I noticed in it’s article that there’s now a gpu-passthrough-manager,
which will likely make the process of setting up a little bit easier.

Yush, it does under the KVM :)

Amazing, basically native speeds,
currently playing Horizon Forbidden West with maxed out graphics and DRS disabled at a steady 60-80 FPS.

Previously I also played Horizon Zero Dawn in it, also maxed out graphics, steady locked 100 FPS,
below is a benchmark comparison of HZD in the Linux host OS and the Windows KVM guest OS:
