Can a Linux installation be run as a VM in Windows?
  • I succeeded in doing this once long ago. Then while in the Linux vm I wiped the VM’s partition table, which wiped the physical disk partition table, including windows. Do not recommend.

  • Professional CMake: A Practical Guide by Craig Scott is an excellent guide to modern cmake usage. Well worth the $30 if you need to build, maintain, or modify a CMake project.

    Atypical starter pet?
  • All dogs are different (even allegedly hypo ones) and all people’s allergies trigger on different things. Make sure all housemates spend a few hours with a dog or cat you are thinking of adopting before you commit. Contact your local animal rescue and they will be happy to help you meet a few animals. You may even be able to foster-to-adopt to make sure it’s a good fit. I would recommend against spending a lot of money on an allegedly allergy-free designer dog. And of course, please spay or neuter your pet.

    US Email Providers - Other then Google, MS, Apple, ...
  • I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.

  • I was also going to suggest Haiku. It’s the spiritual successor to BeOs. I was always disappointed that didn’t become more popular.

  • I very much want to actively support the ability of people to express themselves as they feel best. If I were to meet you, should I offer encouragement and support, or should I treat the situation as just like any other?
