I am actually in the process of collecting parts to build a virtual machine server for this same reason - Win11 no longer gets to touch silicon unless there’s a super good reason to let it!

(I also just got the notification of the 30% price hike for my family subscription to Office 365. I wonder if LibreOffice is still any good…)

Can I ask what your usecase is there (perhaps in another thread or PM)? Cross platform full on virtualization burns a lot of performance, there may be better solutions (wine/proton/whisky e.g.).

More than good enough, IMHO, unless you have to colab with MS Office users.

Simply to have a Win11 box to do microsoft stuff on… though I suppose I could containerise the apps I need instead of going for a full VM? But I do want to stay in touch with how Win11 does settings etc. just because that’s what most of my family uses.

Also want a MacOS VM to have a play with that - I haven’t used MacOS in more than a decade!

Edit: yes, games machine will be direct to hardware - but seriously considering Arch or something for the next rebuild. Depends how it all plays with VR, but that should be easier now I’m on a Quest…

Alright I think I have the server working on my new rig. I’ll leave it up for a bit if anyone here has a little time to check, it’s running game master at the moment but I think it works correctly anyway.

Are we going use Gamemaster or Combat Ops this weekend? If we’re running game master and main branch, maybe we could try some addon maps?
Example:
Seitenbuch
Gogland
Worthy Islands
Kunar Province

I will host Everon tomorrow as I have it setup already and I am pretty busy tomorrow but it’s certainly something I will look into setting up for future nights.

I will create a small scenario about 30min before the official start. Still on the experimental branch since game master mode was quite stable last time we played it and I want to play around with some of the toys.

Anyone around friday night? I’m off call that night as I’ve been on for 35 days straight (on call not actually working)

As i explained to @tempusmurphy earlier my wife is watching wicked with her hugely pregnant friend and I’m stayin in my office out the way so I’ve installed experimental on my laptop to see how it works on a smaller but probably better screen

Gah, I probably won’t make it, as it’s still my workday, unless you guys play later into the evening.

Any Saturday Operations though?

I am not sure I can join but what I can definitely do is start up the server around 2025-01-17T19:30:00Z, either game master or combat ops on the experimental build.

If you choose game master mode, one of you needs to be voted game master to build a mission. I recommend you take 30-45min to build something before you start. If I can make it in time I can build us a mission again, but I am not sure I’ll be there.
