Re: [gentoo-user] Dual booting with Windows 10

[Radoje Stojisic]

Hi all,

I am interested in doing something too. Do you talk about GPU 
Pass-through? Few months ago I wanted to try it myself but I own a Ryzen 
1800x and just one GPU. Is there a way with only one GPU?



Or do I really need 2GPUs and 2 Keyboard/Mouse?


Thanks

Yes, this is a very good option. I can verify everything  "works" but
sometimes you will experience sporadic errors with new hardware. You
won't waste time on this if it does happen; in every case I have seen
it shows up immediately.

Unfortunately you may have to go off the beaten path some and avoid
libvirtd or manually edit the same's configuration files. I can
provide summaries of the manuals and wikis available if you want.

[gentoo-user] genkernel iwlwifi WiFi driver

[Radoje Stojisic]

Hello everyone,

I've installed Gentoo on my ThinkPad T460p couple of times. For some 
reason I can't get the WiFi working. I did the installation with 
SystemRescueCD because I needed working WiFi for the install.


So here comes the question:

I've installed the Genkernel. Does Genkernel enables the iwlwifi driver 
automatically? Or do I need the modify the kernel on my own? I've 
installed Gentoo with KDE. iwconfig showed no wifi interface.



Thanks for any advice.

Re: [gentoo-user] Memory/CPU usage in recent versions of Firefox

[Radoje Stojisic]

Which version of Firefox do you use? The latest version 54 has multi processor 
architecture included. Otherwise use about:performance the check what uses the 
most RAM.
