  • Aren’t there ways to patch the whatever-it-is that is “required” by W11 that older PCs don’t have so that you can bypass the check and have W11 on older machines? I feel like that’s a better solution than paying for Microsoft’s garbage, if one was bent on not moving to Linux


  • I fixed my issue by flashing the latest Beta BIOS for my motherboard. Took me almost a full day of troubleshooting and looking online and repeating the same steps over and over again, but then almost on a whim I decided on flashing the Beta BIOS (no mentions of virtualization in the changelog, so I didn’t really have reaaons to) and now Android Studio finally simulates the Android device. Thanks for your help!


  • Oh, yeah, I got an error with the original command you wrote, so I ended up typing the correct one anyway, and that’s what returned the message that I’m already part of that group.

    So, just to make it clear, sudo adduser “” kvm was the command I ended up using and that told me I’m already part of the group (I’ve been trying basically all solutions I could find online and I think one suggestion was to add myself to the group, so I may have already issued that command earlier today and I did restart several times between then and now)




  • Thanks for the reply and the testing. It’s not via Flatpak (I figured it would be best not to, since Flatpak Gnome Boxes could not create a VM because of KVM issues, while Boxes installed via sudo apt install gnome-boxes gave me no error), but a simple tar extracted in desktop.

    Since AMD Virtualization is Enabled in BIOS (although I can’t toggle it) and Gnome Boxes can create a VM when installed via terminal, I don’t think it’s a BIOS or CPU problem (otherwise no version of Boxes would allow me to run a VM, but I did launch Arch btw from inside Boxes).

    Am I wrong?

    Thanks!









  • My issue lies elsewhere, it takes me that long to have the printer recognized by the OS, then by CUPS browser, then I send the printing job and… it just stalls, never prints. I then cycle the USB ports and start all over again until it miraculously prints
