for a lack of two identical €2000 computers and a lack of desire to double my power bill, I would be willing to revisit the "NixOS in WSL2 on top of Windows 11 host" approach that failed a couple years back

a few questions I can't find definitive answers to:

• can you reliably autostart a WSL2 system on host boot?
• is it possible to let the WSL2 system control connected SATA drives, without windows touching them?
• if so, is this a horrible idea?

For a year or two I was just able to play anything without problems. Then EA anticheat figured out how to detect my VM, and nothing I tried worked. I figured this was kind of a good thing because I have better things to do than play Battlefield. Last week EasyAntiCheat updated, and now it has figured it out as well, with seemingly no documented workarounds

The issue is that when I'm back from work, I don't want to be editing XML files, recompiling QEMU and rebooting for several hours. if I'm not able to start the game trivially I'm probably not going to play it at all

At the same time, I can't really run Windows on bare metal, since I'm using the same PC as a remote build server, and in the future a network storage controller, which sucks to do without Linux. At this point, I'll take any suggestion I can get

@artemist idk about ergonomics, but I’ve only ever seen russian speakers use йцукен. I use qwerty for en/de and йцукен for ru/ua. I’m not great at it, but my touch typing speed in йцукен is ~half of my qwerty speed

also I think 3 vs З is usually just figured out from context. flat top Ʒ definitely helps with this
