Woah. I didn't even do anything. I ran it and it... just ran correctly this time!

@nerdman
Maybe it just needed a system restart.

@alyx

Definite Manjaro win. Runs the fortivpn out of the box (after you smack your head against the wall enough that you figure out how to set it up as compared to windoze), runs zoom without me having to do any wget and apt shenannigans...

I hereby deaclare Manjaro to be moron compatible **

(**) may need fediverse account for getting some frens' halp.

@nerdman
I've been running it for a while, and the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with is figuring out what AUR was all about. I used Ubuntu and Ubuntu flavors before this.

@alyx

And yeah. Zoom worked fine. Just had to change the video driver from VMSVGA to VboxSVGA which for some reason Virtualbox doesn't recommend using.

@nerdman @alyx ew Chinese Zoom instead of Open Source Jitsi

@wikifarms @alyx

If I'm paid for it, I'll use chinese tools.

Now in a virtualbox, away from valuable shit.

@nerdman
Haven't set up a new vm in a while. But I think VboxSVGA is the one they considered legacy, and trying to phase it out.

@alyx

Maybe because It Just Works.

@nerdman
Had a quick look, VboxSVGA is supposed to be used for Windows guests, VMSVGA is the preferred one for Linux guests. Apparently if you don't use them like that, it does't support 3D acceleration.

@alyx

Hmm. Before I had VMSVGA with 3d activated. Maybe the problem is the 3d bit. IDK, right now it works, not touching it.

@nerdman @alyx Manjaro is arch with fewer headaches. I have to different GPU's one nvidia and one AMD and everything just werks as I expect it too. I only broke it once in three years but it was totally my fault and I was able to recover without too much trouble.
