The main os is what runs the hardware. So hardware issues wouldnt be apparent through vbox or vmware.
It is a great way to try out linux though.

And thanks :)

yes, i think i understand - i had an issue recently, maybe you can help me. i could not manage to figure out why VB stopped using my hardware supported vis features. hyper v, windows sandbox, wsl2, memory integrity protection

do you dev for work or something? i could use some advice about other stuff too

I just play with pc's. I assist at work with IT issues, and do our inhouse stuff. Very much hobby level.
My job is electrical/mechanical repairs on pleasure boats, along with some custom fabrication and other related stuff.
I am sure someone in this thread could help you out though

thank you bro, i appreciate it. i work full time as a maintenance tech at a recreational resort, and totally get it! I've been on a rip lately with just a pair of channel locks, duct tape, gorilla glue and a sense of purpose lol. Have to do the best with what we've got until they realize how bad shit actually is hahaa

do you use some kind of flavor of ubuntu already, or do you run a virtual box to just test all of that?

I haven't touched a Linux box of any kind since I left my position working for a state contractor in 2010. Literally 13 years of systems development I've ignored as best I could since leaving IT. Even back in the early 2000's, I didn't use the Ubuntu box at work, I just sat down at it, connected to the database and ran our SQL script tests before submitting them to the state for approval, three commands and a file save of the error log. Then I went down the hall back to my Win2K server farm, and kept building servers and setting them up in Active Directory for deployment. I'm a former admin, definitely not dev. I was the poor bastard that got sent to the dev room to tell them that management wanted it faster than last week and to do it with fewer hours, even though their work had little to do with me at all, I just installed their updates, I didn't care when they were done. /one of many reasons I hated that gig.

If I decide I want to try Linux again, I will be playing with it in the future on my 2017 Core-i7 box which I've historically hacked MacOS on to and has been my daily driver for the last 5.5 years.The new Mac will not be my personal machine, it will only do audio work.

With a machine that I'm paying Apple to keep running, it gives me time to play with the Core-i7, it's only got 4 cores, but as far as I care it's more than capable to be a hobby box for browsing the web-places work machines shouldn't really go. Using Linux or Windows is the only decission at this point. I won't be doing anything in virtualized areas or running any kind of server, just tinkering with my computer junk that's not quite fully out-dated yet.

absolutely fucking based, and badass. subscribed and follwed
 
Did you know, that in 2015 an American company IBM sold its dated products and source code to a company in China...That company Lenovo. This caused the DOD to ban some IBM products because the only way they could be updated is with Chinese products and code.

Wonder when that is going to go the way of tik tok..Zero days is a real threat. Do you have a sleeper cell laptop?

This is why I don't like smoking indica makes me weird.

I dumped windows at Win ME. Been using linux ever since.
The wife has a mac mini so she could continue using ms office etc. The mini's are a very good deal

Windows is a great operating system but linux is better for some things. Microsoft even uses linux for much of their cloud offerings and datacenters.

I run both. It's easy to run linux inside windows with WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux. The apps I run are mostly server based and accessible via web browser like InvokeAI, Tensorflow, and other AI and ML tools. It's easier to install them in Linux as often getting some of the pieces working together or compiling them in Windows can be a frustrating endeavor. Now I don't usually bother installing directly in Windows and use Ubuntu Server running in WSL. The apps are accessible using localhost/127.0.0.1 port number.

WSL | Ubuntu

Access the Ubuntu terminal on Windows with WSL. Develop cross-platform applications and manage IT infrastructure without leaving Windows.

Accessing Ubuntu command line using PowerShell. It's pulling packages from the official Ubuntu repository. WSL is a great tool as previously I was forced to use VirtualBox. WSL makes it a seamless process to run linux on Windows.

i stopped shaving my balls entirely. it is just easier to just let the hair on my ballsack pile up. i let it grow thicker and thicker and was recently forced to use a shaver. using an actual ball trimmer makes it feel seamless

I just retired my lenovo t470. Nearly 8 years without an issue. It was a nice little machine.
New one is an e15, it is way faster although not at sturdy as the old.

Glad to give the chinese something to waste their time monitoring.
 
I'd also like to point out that when running Linux in WSL it has access to all of you're computer hardware unlike using a virtual instance in VirtualBox or VMWare. So it uses the full capability of my graphics card for AI/ML processing.
 
Another point that needs to be made is that Windows did have some pretty crappy releases. Windows ME was probably the worst. Windows XP was a good solid OS as was Windows 7. They screwed the pooch with the rollout of Windows 8 but from Windows 10 until present it's a pretty solid OS.

I'm running the latest build on my desktop.

What are you using these machine learning tools for, if I may ask?

Educational purposes. I've self taught myself most of everything I know. AI/ML is not going away and I want to learn the technology and become highly proficient with it. I've setup a lab with available open source tools. There is so much information available online that it's not difficult to learn on your own.

I did come to a roadblock though and that was with my math knowledge. The linear algebra pretty much stopped me in my tracks as I've forgotten so much of the math I learned years ago. Fortunately there are plenty of resources online and I'm cruising through refreshing my knowledge of algebra.

Math is such an essential part. I understand the technology but I need to update my skills in some areas to continue forward.
