i am a mess of hobbies, cannot be listed. i like computers, cameras, and many other things.

librarian of limbo, singularity dweller, constantly confused identity, and always thinking way too much.

i only do mutuals, if u dont plan on accepting that prob best not to follow. few exceptions

suddenly i remember why i started doing the gpu passthrough vm in the first place


my current plan:

1. fix refind boot record because lol thanks windows
2. run the second windows vm without passthrough
3. put my microwin back on the ventoy
4. use rufus to write the iso file as UEFI only and FAT32

if that doesnt work then like
akko_shrug you have no idea how many different variations of different methods and tools ive attempted at this point

i could write a really blog post about how absolutely insane this attempt to install windows has been with all the shit ive tried

my conclusion is that microsoft is gaslighting the world and windows simply stopped existing
