again, feelings are not facts

i literally just pointed out many instances of the same thing happening outside of china; my point is that it happens everywhere and your feeling that it only happens is china is not reality.

it’s not just the usa; similar actions have happened in the uk and france regarding the genocide and they’ve also punished people for advocating for lgbtq rights in the past.

that feeling that you have regarding repression from countries like china is only a feeling; not reality.

I just have this feeling like you get persecuted for speaking against the government in countries like China

Tell that to the students that were expelled from their universities and had their degrees revoked or the public employees that were for fired for speaking out against the American government’s support for the Gazan genocide.

Not to mention the civil servants that were fired/fined for advocating for LGBTQ rights in the decades past.

plys there’s profits to be had in crushing dissent.

ai is a water and power intensive tool for the ruling class to further suppress people and labor movements to their benefit as well as help control who is permitted into the “in-group” for the future.

it’s actively accelerating climate change that will result in ending our civilization in the future and, like our captured political process, everyone sits aside and just lets it happen out of fear of being harmed themselves.

did the same and it’s the first time i’ve used lemmy’s blocklist; i hope there aren’t more in the future

I suspect that this is the story for most Linux users; windows failing at a critical need

windows doesn’t show linux partitions correctly.

did you have it setup to ask you which operating system you wanted to boot and do you still see it?

in 2002 when my windows me computer start looping on the blue screen of death, with all of my college papers/essays/tests/assignments trapped in it.

the recovery media refused to work because i had upgraded the computer several times and i couldn’t afford the $180 windows xp cd. so i bought a linux magazine for $5 that included a copy of mandrake linux installation media and used paper printouts from my college’s computer labs to help me rescue my work from the computer.

vim should make yaml editing easier and you’re familiarity with vi should help a lot.

are you using a graphical editor to edit the file?

will nano or vim work?

xmodmap was meant to work with x11 so it shouldn’t be a surprise that it doesn’t work very well w wayland.

instead, you’ll want to use a combination of libinput and evdev along w gnome/kde tools or input-remapper/wlr-inputremapper if you’re not using either.

i used to be one of those maintainers. it was my job to build server and container images so i had to spend a lot of time with the company’s internal distro maintainers and it always blew me away how much work they had to do.

HEAVY emphasis on the words “labor of love” … should be getting paid for this and i know for a fact that people who do this professionally make around $200k a year for doing it becuase i worked with them for up until a couple weeks ago at old-silicon.

i’ve always been in awe of people who do this; it goes well beyond linux from scratch and they’ll never get rewarded for doing it… it’s purely a labor of love.

these goals are achievable without proxmox, but there’s nothing wrong with using it; however it will give you a much steeper learning curve if you’ve never managed KVM/QEMU based virtual machines or software defined networking before.

why proxmox? how do you intend to use mx linux, casa os, and windows? do you intend to use multi-booting with proxmox or using the each os as a proxmox virtual machine?

That would explain it, especially the multi-distro request; that’s not a thing for newbies ime

This is a tall order of you’ve never worked w bootloader’s or at least Linux wo x-windows.

If you share your intentions; we’d be better able to help you reach your goals.

My job requires me to work w KVM/QEMU utilities on x86 architecture and utm is dog slow since I have an m2 MacBook.

Instead I use ssh into X86 servers; hence the keyboard mapping woes
