BSPWM user here: Desktops are 1-10 Super + Enter: Terminal on desktop 1 Super + F: Firefox on Desktop 2 Super + D: File manager on Desktop 3 (D for data) Super + Space: Rofi dmenu Super + Shift + Space: Rofi Run

Discord and Telegram (or any other messengers for that matter) are always Desktop 10 so they aren't in the way of anything.

And any other desktop is whatever I need to use in that regard, sorted thematically amd depending on task

ABANDONED Windows 10 doesn't install in virt-manager (beehaw.org)

I need help getting Windows 10 to install on my KVM.

When the machine starts it shows the Windows loading screen for a second and immediately shows a BSOD "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED".

I've tried multiple ISOs, modded and vanilla, based on different updates of Windows 10 and 11, I can't even get into the setup at any of them, any help appreciated.

QEMU Settings are:

Chip: Q35
FW: BIOS (UEFI only gives shell with any UEFI options)
CPU: 4 vCPU (Default setting I think)
RAM: 8 Gigs

Boot settings: No boot menu

#1 SATA CD-ROM (Windows ISO)
#2 SATA HDD (empty 300GB qcow2)
#3 SATA CD-ROM (VirtIO drivers)

Network is default

Video is VirtIO, tried all the other options too, but to no avail

HOST runs on:

OS: Arch Linux 6.5.5-zen1-1-zen
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
RAM: 16GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Nouveau driver)

UPDATE: After failing multiple times, formatting my drive, installing Fedora, trying and failing again, formatting my drive again, reinstalling Arch, I have enough. I'll just continue to dual boot for the time being until I get a new CPU.

SOLVED - Any desktop environments with tv overscan settings? (beehaw.org)

Heya, I'm currently using my old tv as a monitor and the problem is that it seems to have overscan and I can't go into the tv menu to change it. Do you know of any desktop environments that allow you to resize the window height and width? I've tried KDE with kdoctor and xrandr settings but all it did to me was changing hiw much of the desktop I was able to see without changing the resolution if that makes sense. Like The taskbar not only being cut off at the bottom half bc of Overscan but now thanks to the change in display settings as well.

So I'm in need of a desktop that has it's own feature to counteract that.

Any help appreciated, thanks
