  • I've gotten solidworks to work in a Windows 11 VM with decent performance. I use Virtual Machine Manager, which is a GUI that uses QEMU/KVM on the backend.

    I used this guide for better performance, and it also resolved an issue where solidworks wouldn't install because it could tell it was in a VM.

  • The site Techpir8 linked is distrosea, which lets you test Linux distros in a browser window (the Linux distros run on distrosea's servers). No need for Ventoy.

  • Dual boot sucks because Windows likes to overwrite partitions critical to booting Linux without warning.

    You could use Virtual Machine Manager (GUI frontend for QEMU/KVM, the most performant VM software on Linux). Here is a good guide on how to optimize the settings for a Windows 11 guest. I've used this guide to get SolidWorks, a CAD program, to work decent, so I assume other professional programs like Lightroom will run well too.

  • I haven't needed to search for an amp myself since this is my only "good" pair of headphones, and they sound fine right out of my PC.

    I looked into it, and I found this video from crinacle (well known audiophile in the headphone world) that discusses options that are in the $30 USD range that would definitely be loud enough. Namely, the JCALLY JM20 Max. In the video he does warn that this dac/amp could be too loud for some headphones, so maybe you could try the JCALLY JM6 Pro instead ($15 USD). I would highly recommend watching his video to weigh your options.

  • The 250 ohm version probably needs a decent headphone amplifier to be loud enough, the 80 ohm version will work with any headphone jack you plug it into.

    I have a pair of DT770 pros 80 ohm and they work with anything that has a headphone jack.

  • Similar story here, just with my dad's SNES around that same time. Mainly played link to the past, as it was the only game we had for a bit, but we bought a couple others (super Mario world, where in the world is Carmen San Diego, ms pac man) on eBay later on. Both myself and my dad's old save states are still on the cartridge last I checked.

    Then we got a Wii around 2013 when my uncle was upgrading to Wii U, we got a PS2 slim from my grandparents (to play DDR with these terrible dance pads we never ended up using much), and I got a 3ds xl for my (12th?) birthday. That 3ds was the only console I got when it was even remotely new, and I have moved on to pc games ever since (at least for newer titles). My brother has continued collecting retro games, and has added an Atari 2600, a sega genesis, and my dad's NES to the collection. Currently, the Wii, PS2, and 3DS have been softmodded and are still used fairly regularly.

    It's probably affected my taste in video games too - I get mostly old stuff or indie titles.

  • For Roblox, there's Sober. It works (IIRC) by putting the android version of Roblox in a container and passing the appropriate system calls to the Linux machine. It doesn't need to worry about issues with Roblox's Byfron anticheat since Byfron hasn't been implemented there (yet).
