panicked call from dad this morning. both the #firefox & #thunderbird apps i'd installed months ago in the #WSL #WindowsSystemForLinux Fedora distro i had set up for him, in his de-internetted #win10 (being the third* iteration of #EndOf10 workaround i'd conceived & deployed for him in Oct & subsequent {he was simply unable to get past his morbid "fear of Linux", which despite preparing him thru all of 2025 for it, ultimately scuppered my original plan to wipe win10 entirely & replace with Mint or Fedora}), this morn decided not to launch, but instead throw a weirdarse win10 WSL error msg. sigh.

* one being #VirtualBox #LinuxMint VM with ff & tb inside it [abandoned coz sucked up too much RAM & was slow to launch, then frequently froze]; two being #HyperV VMs with ff & tb inside, which were fast snazzy & reliable, but shockingly could not access his files & data, ie, useless; three being WSL.

remoted-into his pooter, had a poke around, saw the symptom myself but couldn't find the specific reason why win10 had chosen to do its latest bit of stupid shitfuckery. fiddled about a bit more, tried this that & t'other, including sticking a big screwdriver & knitting needle into it & stirring them around vigorously, whilst tapping lightly on the side with a ballpein hammer. somehow it then came good for me again. ergo, once more a happy dad... but a bewildered daughter who atm feels more like a witch-doctor than proper doctor. 🤔🤷‍♀️ 😲 🤯

Anyone managed to find some kind of documentation or #HOWTO regarding running #hyperv on #Linux ?

I'm not meaning about running a Linux installation in an HyperV environment, but the Linux as the Hyper-V host (it's been part of the Linux kernel for years now)

[ Blog ] How to install #Nakivo on Hyper-V

To install Nakivo on Hyper-V, you can choose either the supported Windows or #Linux platforms based on your business requirements.

Installing Nakivo on a Linux-based virtual machine (Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS in this example) allows you to save a Windows license, as the product provides the same features.
