Laura Windows 7 in a virtual machine and you can run your favorite apps being in Linux

Lol yes I know about VM's but unfortunately VM's do not have full access to the GPU - graphics card (unless you do a PCI-pass through which requires two graphics card)sso tho that might work for some applications, not all of them say more graphic intensive applications and games. Thanks for you suggestion though 🙂

    Laura penguins on the CapeTown's streets.

    Also we had here in Joburg a baboon on the run and a leopard...soon all you overseas people will be right with lions running down our streets (due to this regime's utter incompetence) but I refuse to live in a mud hut or more accurately a cow-dung hut lol 😂

    @Laura so how is your area/life during this lockdown I take it you can still work? You live in NYC right?

      Valadar unless you do a PCI-pass through which requires two graphics card

      Of course you do. Just connect another one through a riser

      Valadar so how is your area/life during this lockdown I take it you can still work?

      I'm freelancer. I don't got to work anyway. So almost no change for me. But parents stay at home 😂

      Valadar You live in NYC right?

      Yes. NYC

        Laura Of course you do. Just connect another one through a riser

        Lol I was actually surprised you responded to that. Unfortunately I can't due to my case/computer chassis limitations and as said I can do nothing during this lockdown lol someone I know can't even buy a battery for their phone it's ludicrous lol

          Laura I'm freelancer. I don't got to work anyway.

          Very fortunate, so the only "lockdown" (I mean no offense) you experience is what you are already used to, &is the main focal point of this forum lol.

          I fortunately work from home myself due to my family's business which isn't in I.T but requires the service of an I.T administrator but unfortunately the lockdown has hit the business hard and currently Im not earning a salary until the business can function again, that's why I can say I know how hard this lockdown is affecting the Caucasian businesses in South Africa especially the small&medium sized ones.

            Laura A member of my family went to the USA a year or so ago specifically NYC&said that NYC people don't have any trash bins on the roads due to the events of 9/11. Is this true?

              Valadar Unfortunately I can't due to my case/computer chassis limitations

              You can place a second video card outside your case. That's the beauty of risers

              Valadar so the only "lockdown" (I mean no offense) you experience is what you are already used to, &is the main focal point of this forum lol.

              I guess it must be called "lockup" 😂

              Valadar aid that NYC people don't have any trash bins on the roads due to the events of 9/11. Is this true?

              Trash bins or trash cans? Of course, there are a lot of trash cans on the streets. If you are talking about trash bins, e.g. dumpsters, well, I never paid attention to it 😂

                Laura I guess it must be called "lockup" 😂

                I guess so but you and the other ladies are used to it I mean it is your daily life and reality not like if it was used as playthings in a sexual fantasy lol Im a bit of a shy/private person that's why I don't comment too much on chastity belt issues, as like Rick I do believe the main purpose of this forum should be about allowing you ladies to discuss your issues&challenges supporting one another (and if us guys can add to the support)

                If money were as plentiful as grass I would say the majority African woman here in SA need to be belted to prevent this ridiculous overpopulation here. As its in the African culture to on average have 7 to 10 children or more(as the believe the more children they have the more they will be looked after when they are older) and many wives/girlfriends that's why Africa will never progress its impossible.

                Laura

                It seems all around the world,"wild" animals tend to come in the towns freely,as there is way less people in the streets,on the beachs,etc...

                Laura That's probably more about @Vanessa

                Right.Unlike you,network,servers,etc... are only a part of my job.Mine is more about computer itself.But,for now,I do only a bit of work from home,as long as the pandemic don't reduce...

                You can make your PC have two OS installed and choose on which one to boot.I keep the Windows update on(but delayed,to avoid new bugs introduced by updates before Microsoft fix these),but I know there is ways to disable it completely.

                  Vanessa PC have two OS installed

                  Hi Vanessa its kind of you to contribute, yes I know about dual booting thanks my pc actually runs Windows 7 and Zorin OS I just use Windows less and less these days as my knowledge of how to use Linux grows...there is just so much more you can do on it than Windows... much much more freedom.

                  Vanessa You can make your PC have two OS installed and choose on which one to boot

                  It means you have to reboot your box every time you need something in Window, it means you have to close and restart bunch of apps later on. Pretty inconvenient

                    BikelockFugitive Hi thanks for wanting to assist no I can't as my case doesn't allow two graphics cards to be put in... otherwise I would create a PCI pass through.

                    As I said to @Laura Im enjoying using Linux so far I have got StarCraft 2 and Anno 1404 to work through Wine with great performance.

                      Laura the Ubuntu guy is also from South Africa

                      Mark Shuttleworth yes is from South Africa though I don't like that distribution directly myself...I prefer Zorin 15 OS and MX Linux also interested in trying Manjaro OS sometime too but Zorin OS 15.

                      Fun fact related to famous people from South Africa did you know J.R.R Tolkien was born in South Africa?

                        Valadar I prefer Zorin 15 OS and MX Linux also interested in trying Manjaro OS sometime too but Zorin OS 15.

                        Think what you might have on a VPS. Usually Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS. IMO, no worth to play with anything else
