You can change the core count AFTER making the VM which I agree is really annoying.
Besides that everything else has worked more reliably than others options I've tried.

I hate to say it but having a full desktop is becoming more and more of an enthusiast setup.
Even laptops are becoming somewhat niche as people more just use their phone for all web browsing.
I understand having updates go south on you, I do use a rolling release on my own PC, Annnnd Windows 10 before that.
But I'm paranoid about security, increasingly so in recent times. So I at least want him on an updated web browser.
I am a KDE enjoyer and use it on my own desktop. But Gnome works really well for touchscreen devices and my dad has already gotten used to it so.
Gnome Boxes has worked pretty well for me.
I honestly forgot Debian had a none stable version.
He's not too picky with web browsers as long as it...well browses the web.
I'll give it a go and hopefully get 4 years away from being tech support. Thanks!
That's what I've heard just wanted to see if anyone on here had experience just letting it update in the background.
Videos of the Steamdeck showed me how good gaming on Linux had gotten and that's when I started looking into switching.
I already hated using Windows 10 so didn't take me much convincing to look at alternatives.
I'm not a programmer or work in the I.T. field in anyway. But I have been messing around with computers since I could remember so I'm no stranger to tweaking, breaking and trying to repair things.
To add to the software point, STOP buying hardware that requires some shitty software to fully work.
I did this back in the Windows 7 days years before I even knew anything about Linux. But Razers rootkit managed to load in before the Win7 login screen then crash it. After that I avoided any peripherals with mandatory software and it made my transition to Linux a lot easier than most people I know.
This goes for any content not just piracy sites. Just the other day I seen someone I watch delete half of their videos but luckily I had downloaded everything.
There's a bunch of stuff from Youtube alone I can't see again because I didn't download it when I had the chance...
Funnily Metallica was the first thing 11yo me pirated after some older student told me about uTorrent/PirateBay.
Same guy also sent me some Slayer and Entombed over bluetooth. Hope he's doing good these days.
Luckily the laptop doesn't use Nvidia.
Hopefully soon my own desktop won't either >.>
