It should be noted this is NOT stable! However, if you want to go on an adventure or see me flail around here was the 4 HOUR live stream! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qaqdf6Zzrp-wZHk.html Website guide (not for beginners) - christitus.com/my-new-desktop-hyprland/

Man that all looks amazing, I would love to see a more in depth explanation of the Windows VM integration as well as the whole Arch side setup!

we need an installation video for beginners and your customization.

Hi Chris, What would be *VERY* interesting is a detailed walkthrough-guide on your "not just a VM, but a *specialized* VM". As soon as I heard "GPU passthrough", I immediately got to the edge of my seat. I'm a long-time Linux wannabe (using penguin only for my selfmade NAS so far) and THE ONLY things that stop me from swithcing to Linux are: - Games which I *DO* want to play with DLSS/hdr/etc - Win-only professional CG software. We all hate adobe and yet we all are still stuck with it.. ... But also, we all have CPUs with a plenty of cores nowadays. Even if I'd have to dedicate one core / 2 threads from my 8/16 - I'd immediately switch to Manjaro with no second thought, *BUT ONLY IF* I'd get *exactly* the same full "windows-on-bare-metal" experience in any other sense. And I believe, there are plenty of people like me. The entire CG community basically consists of people who are either adepts of Tim Cook cult or looking for any way to avoid upcoming forced migration to Win11.

This is probably the best OS experience I've ever had. Animations, performance and ui are amazing. Have not seen anything like it yet. I hope there will be an easier install for this, until then I'll use a backup. 👍

Pulling out 56 seconds uptime after all the stuff you managed to do since the last boot, is very impressive. Productivity at its peak.

It's always amazing to see your creations!

This is amazing! The animations are so smooth! The top part of the screen is very informative but not cluttered! This may be your masterpiece. I'd even pay for this. I'd love to do this on my Fedora...

definitely one of my favorite channels. You were on the edge for a second there, about a year ago, but the comeback has been amazing. As a tech firm owner, I've learned a ton from you. Thank you for the vids.

Looks amazing And we should appreciate the hardwork you do

OMG Thank You are amazing! So happy to see somebody finally pushing Wayland to its full potential!

Would love a guide on the Windows VM setup you have here! GPU passthrough looks really interesting! Keep up the amazing work!

This is way beyond my paygrade. I'm out of here

that is insanely clean and really lean. I personally am not a fan of the top menu items (feel like the benefit of that information vs the space isn't worth). But I will say that is probably my goal setup. It's so dang snappy and seems like a great work setup.

I think the boot entry name is an artifact from `archinstall`. Apologies for the half confusing default :) We can add `arch_` to the entry name.

I'd love to switch to this kind of setup. I'm wondering how user friendly can looking glass and windows vms get. I'd rather have windows VM in linux than linux VM in windows (wsl2 is awkward when it comes to networking).

i've been daily driving hyprland for almost a year now solidly and I couldn't have had a better time. Literally PERFECT

Love the tutorials as always well-prepared end easy to understand - Thanks for the effort and time taken to make it easier for us to learn and grow.

Chris, this setup was truly nice to see. You should def make a video about this.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out in the future. Looks great so far.

It nice to see people doing some great design the layout.

Nice to see what came from that live stream Chris, I had to leave before it ended. Hyprland looks awesome, and I'll have to play around with it if I ever finish my other projects. I can't wait for Wayland to be adopted into more desktop and tiling managers, it's why I'm using Gnome right now.

That is absolutely beautiful desktop! So cool! Thank you for these inspiring videos

The Win VM is exactly what I’m looking for and would love to see a video on that setup.

Nice to see there's something like quick passthrough now. The last time I had a setup like that I had to do everything manually which was by no means an easy feat. Must have taken an incredible amount of work to make QuickPassthrough

This is like the best I've seen your desktop and I was a fan of the og ArchTitus the fluidity was so smooth with hardware in consideration

I recently setup Hyprland (now that I have an AMD card) and it's been pretty incredible. No issues getting it going on Arch, but I did need to use the AUR extensively and had to use Xwayland for some things. My only issue with Hyprland is that I realized that I really don't like auto tilers. I've been using i3 for a couple years now and it's just better for me. My plan is to finish configuring Sway and ultimately move to that, but it's a pain to get that to where Hyprland is out of the box. These wayland based tilers are incredible and wayland is ready for prime time, but I also have no issues using Xorg (I'm in i3 right now). What I time to be alive.

Naming your store CTTstore is both, something I should expect and on the other hand, the most genius name style a YT channel store can have nowadays xP

Such a cool video. That setup looks amazing!

Good to see you again. I value your information that you give

Loving the content. Answering questions I didn't know I needed to ask for!

Maaaann, that look gorgeous! It brought me back to 2009/10 CompizFusion times but with all the current improvements!

I’ve been using hyprland for a while now and while I did have to relearn a bunch of things, I found myself walking away actually preferring those. My favorite Wayland native app is the foot terminal, which operates on a daemon/client mode (kind of like emacs) and it is so damn fast.

Love the video and your UI and animation looks amazing

You basically achieved reverse wsl, we need an in depth video.

Every time I watch your videos, your desktops make me wanna forget all about Windows. This new one looks utterly awesome. I'm slowly getting there.

Nice job. The env makes my temps rise - awesome.

outstanding! eagerly waiting for installation video.

This video came out in perfect timing as I watched the first half of the stream but I never knew what the end result was. The question I wanted to ask is does Looking Glass work for single GPU solutions or you have to use a dual setup like the one you have here?

Man, your videos are super nice. continue !!!

This is THE ... i must try to do it!!!! just feeling it Chris the open windows just for the feel... ufff. and that vm taking to another world is crazy!~

Amazing video man! Would love to see how you sett up the vm through Looking Glass!🙌🏻

cant wait for the fully automated video this looks amazing

AWESOME this is cool cant wait to see what you do with it

That looks really slick! I would love to watch a video that slows down and goes into great detail on what you did and how.

This one of your coolest videos on a long time! Cheers! 🍻

Unrelated but i wanted to thank you i went through your old videos and was able to improve network and applications load speed 10x. Most any application i use immediately starts and the more clunky ones take mere seconds

Spun this up last week. The twm was great; being able to infinitely open within each window based on where your mouse is pointed is a pretty cool feature. Sure it's only marginally useful, since a teeny-tiny window inside another teeny-tiny is un-usable but still, cool. Edit: And SDDM isn't the only login manager having problems on this spin of ARCO. I used LY and also had issues.

That's slick. I'm inspired.. thank you

Thanks for the quickpassthrough shoutout! i should be back to working on it after march as i am in the middle of sorting out personal stuff and have been for a while, however i made sure to get quickpassthrough feature complete for passing through your 2nd graphic card before i had to go on my hiatus and i have actually been using it for all my passthrough VMs for the past year. The only thing it does not handle as of right now is single gpu passthrough and taking into account systems with an active ACS override in either kernel or firmware level (i have a motherboard with firmware level ACS override, its pretty sweet), other than that the project is stable 😄

This is great content. More Wayland VM stuff, more VM GPU Passthrough and preferably more Arch Linux with setup of your own repo so that you can test and update the packages whenever you feel like.

Thanks you for learning me about KVM and QEMU now I'm in my learning curve to do that in my Linux mint pc

now I've got to revisit my Hyprland experience -- it is awesome

Please make into a script + video on looking glass + passthrough that looked mad.

That's a beautiful desktop. I'd never log off with a setup like that.

Chris "Fancy Desktop" Titus. Looks good, man 💪😎

new to linux here but damn this configuration is awesome. I wish I was this tech smart to do this. great video by the way !!

I would love to see a detailed video on how to set up your current VM set up!

So amazing!!! I would love to see an in depth video or live stream on this setup! I love that your going back to Arch and I also use Arch btw lol😏

This would be a fantastic video going over how to do all of this. I am new to Window Managers, and I'm having a rough time configuring Awesome, but i'll get there. Good video! makes me excited.

I am looking forward more details about this VM and your Arch setup! And I would be really happy (and not just I am) to have a script for automation of your Arch setup!

Subscribed! Amazing content, thank you!

So quick and slick... I'd be moving windows around all day just for fun.

Finally got this thing running well. This needs more attention! More vids on this for sure pls!

I really like that. You have done a fantastic job.

I am completely speechless this was so good on so many levels.

Looks amazing!

Those terminal emulators are awesome. Great looking desktop and way more functional than most.

I would be very interested in a performant gpu passthrough video, or website guide

Oh man that hot-switchabble VM is so neat, so cool

The AMD Ryzen 5000 series are great CPUs. The one you're running is pretty solid 6c/12t. I'm running a 5800x myself, and see no reason to upgrade. Right now I'm working on migrating my data to a new SSD so I can free up a couple of the ones I'm currently using so I can do some Linux learning and experimenting. I'm glad you put out these videos, so when I'm ready, I can go through and dive into the Linux world.

looks buttery smooth

Great video! I hope you make a video on running a Windows VM in your desktop and how to pass everything through. I was considering having separate windows and Linux boxes, but I like the idea of having a nice machine that can run both.

Amazing job! 👍

damn that VM is truly seamless, amazing!

Pretty slick setup

If people want to switch desktops, have fun! I don't do it anymore, I just change the wallpaper. I have a systemtray, I use xsetroot for some extra things (date,time,RAM-usage, whatever you want) and I have a panel and dmenu and a lot of hotkeys. What more do you need on a desktop?

Awesome desktop! Want to see more 😄

Very Clean. Very Nice.

man I had a lot of fun and success installing via your ArchTitus script. You really should make an update with this new bleeding edge setup

a script would be wonderful. thanks for the informative video!

This is awesome. Please make a script to do all of this!!! And I love what you did with your windows virtual machine

That looks really awesome! Hopefully you'll make a tutorial on all of this.

that's really useful. how large is the performance hit?

This is beautiful !

I want to do that looking glass stuff, that is slick and solves a lot of my gripes.

I am definitely doing this on my new system

Great desktop ... butter fluid ... would love to see how you did it and the tutorial

love the pass through.. I am trying to set up qemu kvm on my nuc running arch ..

Hey Chris. Very impressive. I don't know what you were doing to launch everything, but i didn't see a mouse so i am assuming shortcut keys. Anyway, the speed was very impressive and i am very much interested in seeing a step by step procedure :) to get to what you have. thanks for the view. Very slick!!!

I haven't been able to get screen sharing working yet but have a pretty similar setup for when I'm not working

A setup guide or video for that Windows passthrough VM would be awesome, great work!!

I been wanting to use looking glass for a quite a while but looking for a guide. Thank you. Do you have a link to all the hotkeys you use in the desktop? I need to understand how to use tiling window manager as well you do.

Very nice desktop! Please do the video explaining the setup process of that VM 😀. Quick question about it: do you need two dedicated GPUs in order to send one to the VM, or could it also work with APUs like Ryzen 5600G, could I use the integrated graphics for Linux and the GPU for VM?

I noticed you seemed to have your windows--vm audio piped to your host machine! How did you do that? I tried gpu passthrough a while ago, but had to give windows controll of a soundcard to have sound... So how does that work? Your setup seems really cool, nice work!

The Windows VM setup is very intriguing to me. I love using Linux, but there are a lot of compatibility issues with my Asus ROG G712LV. Being able to pass through my 2060 and USB ports would be incredibly useful!

The animation in insane! :)

5:30 I like the system monitoring in the system tray. That's a cool idea. Maybe I will look into getting a system monitor for my Linux's taskbar. I already have them as widgets on my Linux Mint and my Windows 10 also has a System Monitor widget on the desktop (Win10 doesn't typically support desktop widgets, but my Win10 is special because I did special tweaks).

Nice to see that iam not the only one, who changes his wm, styles and toolsets frequently ;)

Hey Chris nice to learn more on the vm script to reach that level of performance.
