Zoom on Mint fails to work in exactly the same way that it does in Manjaro.

I think we have a WINRAR gaise.

@nerdman
I'm afraid to ask what you're doing wrong, cause Zoom worked fine for me on Manjaro. Only needed to use it once though, so maybe there's some advanced feature you need that aren't getting. :blobshrug:

@alyx

It's probably a problem with running it in virtualbox. Gonna try a different "driver" setting.
@alyx

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

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.

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.

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.

@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.
