This is not a good deal. First of all I highly doubt this mobo and CPU will be Windows 11 compatible so you're out of luck there. For $373 you can find an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and mobo combo deal that will vastly outperform this Chinese CPU. Also AMD's AM5 platform is DDR5 while this Chinese CPU and mobo combo is DDR4. $373 is a ridiculously non competitive price.
Who the fuck uses Windows 11?!
Me 😢
I have a critical work app that will not run in wine or with proton.
I’ve even contacted the devs and they suggested trying to run the android version on Linux, but it doesn’t work either.
I have several for work that will likely never work in Linux.
So those have a nice little VM they sit on, which has been stripped bare of the nonsense. Remote desktop access enabled, and I can do what I need whenever.
That’s pretty interesting, but it’s a meeting software. So I’m regularly sharing my screen and sharing files. So I need to be in the os. I’ll just key checking it every time a roster counts out for proton or the app I use.
That's crazy, most meeting software I've seen is cross platform and have web clients.
I know, it’s exactly how I feel about the situation.
They are going to release a new version with monetization soon. Maybe that will be a big .0 release and maybe there will be a Linux version.
Ah, admittedly I avoid that problem entirely, I have an MTR, a ZR, etc running on devices here (hardware/software testing stuff), so I don't need to run meetings on my desktop often.
Edit: Just to note, I've done USB passthrough with VMs that were ZR builds and such, so that can be done. But I think if your sharing from there it can get messy (USB video capture and such as your sharing method, so on).
So stream your desktop to the VM?
To share the bigger picture, I’m using this app 99% of my working hours. So it doesn’t make sense to do it this way.
I’d be better off just working out of the vm but due to performance loss and dealing with passing through usb I just use windows.
Although, outside of work I use Linux.
What is the app? You may need to install libhoudini (libndk if you have AMD processor) if it the app is arm only. https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
