Just canceled on looking at a house in Dallas because the only maybe options for Internet are fixed wireless, DSL, and satellite. And of course, none of those can confirm until you move in. But zero cable or fiber carriers in the area, none in the entire zip code of the city, let alone in the specific development

yeah, it's interesting isn't it.
internet access has become as important as electricity or sewage now.
i wonder if the time comes when properties/houses will be priced in some way, depending upon their internet connection?? it's not uncommon down here for new estates to open up and people have to wait years for the internet infrastructure to become available to the estate. -
Trying out Manjaro GNOME.
This is a nice feature from Manjaro.

Hey Stuart one of the things that you can do is have some Linux distro as your main OS but then enable virtualization and create a Windows vm for when its necessary. I used KVM and did this on both of my laptops. Now I don't see Windows unless I have to. Also to me Windows works better in a vm.

I'm trying to find out where the hell this printer driver gets installed to so I can remotely remove the old driver and recreate the printer with the new one.

@jmoore I do have a lab server running proxmox, I will setup a Windows VM on that going forward I think. I'm leaving windows on my laptop though because I create music on that and I don't think it would run good in WINE.

Ok I get that. However, don't forget that there is almost always comparable software in Linux that runs just as well or better. It usually seems better because of the underlying Linux in place.

@jmoore I use FL Studio and it took me ages to learn that DAW, I defiantly don't want to learn another lol. The difference between others can be quite significant. My desktop is my daily runner though so won't be too much of a problem.

You never know until you try.

@dafyre Main thing would be if VSTs and Asio audio drivers work ok.

How? No where did he state he was getting an illegal copy of Windows installed anywhere?
