Several days without full focus, much, much more researching on new problems I wasn't even aware of, multiplied by having an atomic distro, and having the blasted thing bite me again, on my wrist vein, as well as discovering that I'm missing display and storage cables — but my computer is finally built.

...now I have to do the same to my old PC lying in pieces to turn it into a NAS

..aaAAH-

Mmk, a few days later with Kinoite and I'm starting to sour

The provided environment to install non-sandboxed packages seems to be a Fedora/RHEL specific...worse version of distrobox, without a viable option to change hardcoded links to your $HOME directory.

...shit, am I really going to try to install valve-style immutable Arch??

I got a Huion Kamvas 13 for a drawing tablet

• + included drivers in the kernel + KDE management baked in
• - the driver only controls 7 keys when then tablet has 8
• --- the tablet doesn't have multitouch

I didn't realize how much I needed multitouch to manipulate drawing tools and canvases

"Distrobox is a tool that allows you to create and manage container-based development environments without root privileges."

...

"As a project, it is inspired by Container Toolbx (all the props to them!),"

"inspired by Container Toolbx"

...so distrobox came after toolbx, but toolbox remains as the more limited Fedora flavor of the container manager

Procrastination, thou foul demon

This is not the time for me to be finding so many nits to pick with my Linux distro, and yet

- Filelight, the very nice drive data visualizer, doesn't work on my root partition in this install of Fedora Atomic, only /home and lower. Which is kind of a problem as my home is only like 5-10 GB and there's nearly 100GB used on this encrypted volume already

- apparently as of 2 or 3 versions ago, hibernate on #Fedora is just ...broken, because it does not play well with Secure Boot, especially with encrypted volumes. You can effectively pick either Secure Boot and encrypted boot drives, or working hibernate, or a secret third way that may or may not work if you do it manually. Ugh.

- apparently Virt-Manager Flatpak isn't sufficient enough to make VMs, which I suddenly need to finish moving my Windows data over/handle my transition. There's apparently like 3-4 different ways to install virtualization utils but I just YOLO'd and used RPM-ostree, the thing many people say to avoid

finally, I got Virt-Manager to get the virtualization libraries up

ooh, I can add my physical GPU directly to the VM config. Let's see how this works

plasma crashes as I've done the virtual equivalent of ripping my GPU out of the running computer

woops

Well, it kinda works! Kinda

Still has the windows generic display driver, so I gotta install the amd drivers ... but adrenalin doesn't want to work

Gave it roughly half my ram and the whole original drive....but the VM is basically choking (and sending my fans into overdrive...)

Ok, finally, we have wifi

500 notifications and updates later

Oh hey, windows finally found the display driver

Ok, I have my Windows install working again, time to crack at those TikTok links before—
