Gaming was absolutely the only reason I didn't switch permanently

Switched all my machines over to Linux within a month or so of getting my steam deck and see no reason to go back

Can't imagine I'm the only one who was waiting for this, though that said I am fairly technical, I don't think most non technical people will see enough of a reason to switch

I had thought spice was supposed to be really good for VMs, it's it just over hyped?

Is this not the kind of thing machine vision/language models would be really good at?

Ah fantastic, will have a look at this properly tomorrow

Turns out I am using pipewire with the pulse module so this should work

Understood most of the words in that comment individually

What does PW stand for?

We'll get to the bottom of this damnit even if it takes a hundred meetings!

I'm not that anal about my security but it's a very trivial thing and if I ended up getting any of my network compromised to make a soundboard there are several people in my life who would shoot me

Oooh fantastic thank you

Oh I have no doubt it's legitimate, my concern is just that it's unmaintained

I don't have the expertise to spot if someone's able to pull some dark wizard shit and encode a binary in audio and get it to execute it or something

Seriously though I know enough to know I won't spot some obscure bad practice in someone else's code base, even without network access if someone gets onto my system some other way it could give them a route to escalate

Last release being 2 years ago is a bit of a red flag for me, and being able to play funny sounds in voice chats is not worth a potential security issue

Reckon this could be done on nix/other distros?
