Linux Mint won't boot with virtual machines without amd_iommu=off

I'm running Linux Mint on an AMD system and I want to use virtual machines, but if I boot normally, the system gets stuck on a black screen. The only way it works is by adding the kernel parameter:

I have been daily driving the MacBook Neo for two weeks as my dedicated travel and "secondary" device.

In this video:
✅ A18 Pro performance
✅ Light gaming and video editing tests
✅ Running VMs
❌ The charger and port situation...

If you are looking for a small, portable companion to a Mac Studio or Mac Pro, this might be it.

give me thoughts about UTM vs Fusion vs Virtualbox for #virtualization on Apple MacOS with Silicon processor (using M4 if that makes a difference)

main goal is running a slim linux vm for some non-macOS tasks and a kali VM.

ive been using UTM since the first M1 mac, but currently my network setup keeps breaking, so im looking alt alternatives,

[ Blog ] Is the VMware #VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?

With the release of VMware VCF 9, many organizations are now facing a key question: "Is the VMware VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?"

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9 appears to be a significant strategic decision with a number of potential benefits, especially for organizations http://rviv.ly/HfSzFp #aggiornamento #virtualization

Speaking as a noob, I was amazed by how easy #openBSD was to install and get running with #xfce. I think my next bout of experimentation will be doing it with #KDE (the #nextcloud client for openBSD seems to offer integration with dolphin; KDE's file manager). The only thing I haven't got my head around is auto-mounting USB drives upon insertion. Perhaps antithetical to the sane security defaults for which openBSD is known, but there are lots of guides online for people wanting it :P damned if I can get them to work though!

*edited to add, if you want to run Virtual Machines on it, they have to be openBSD VMs; I only mention it because reading this quote was what made me read more about openBSD and then end up trying it... I know little about computers, but I've seen people make (indeed, I have worked with, and within) good systems and bad systems, and this sounded like someone who was really trying to make a good system... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19912394
