Explain the latter please. Do you mean headless VM with a GPU? I used to do that for a SD VM. Worked fine.
No, GPU passthrough on one PCIE slot with not igp (I need to render something on an windows only product).
Should work fine. I assume you mean ssh from somewhere else to fix/change settings on the Host OS. You'll just have to get everything Graphical stopped on the Host.
Their goal is to have more people on Windows 11 and to reassure the investors that Pajeetsoft's new version of Windows wasn't a failure.
They're also using the exact same spyware tactics they used to force people to upgrade to Windows 10. "You can either upgrade now or upgrade tonight." I still remember when they pulled that shit back in December 2015. I managed to find a way around it and keep using Windows 7, but that event was what made me start seriously considering Linux.
Nothing will be exactly the same, but Cinnamon is the same where it matters
there are distros that did rip off windows. You just need to google it. or look it up on youtube.
KDE is super customisable. The default isn't much to look at because they want it to be approachable for a Windows user, but you can go take a look at ricers to see what it can do. Most of these people are using KDE, both because it's a very good DE in general, and easy to modify.
There are plenty of ways to achieve this, there's the aforementioned looking for a Windows-ripoff Linux distro, and of course theming your desktop environment in a distro of your choice. I've managed to skin my XFCE to look like Windows XP before thanks to stuff like b00merang, which should also work fine with other GTK-based DEs. I personally have no experience with KDE (I really should try it out sometime) but from what I've heard it's super receptive to theming and can likely be themed similarly.
I tried KDE on a live USB, and it was a buggy mess. The themes I tried did not work well, on top of not matching the entire OS. I want the settings everything to look the same; a partial rice is not enough.
There is only one window manager.
My KDE isn't buggy.
You could always do this, a lot of these early programs are quite configurable via xresources. The superior way to use xcalc of course is in RPN mode.
I think the problem is inconsistency. A riced system will still have the odd program that didn't take the ricing and looks janky as fuck.
An interesting contrast to have these directly adjacent - compare the efficiency of the system in the video above to just using i3 straight out of the box. A lot of ricing just seems to make usability worse for the sake of aesthetics.
