No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I am looking to use two VM application at the same time, but haven't figure out how. Hoping to use ubuntu on Boxes (the performance seems smooth and no delays) while also using a windows VM on virtualbox. Error message mentions running through the issue of needing to disable the KVM kernel. Could I get some insight as to how to work around this obstacle, in layman's term?

I use kvm to run Windows and another OS that shall not be named runs in virtualbox, while also using the host (Linux) as my mainly used system. It works without any problems with all three running well enough to be usable.

You have to make sure you have enough cpu cores to spare for the virtual machines. If you're using a dual or even quad core processor you're probably stuck with only using one virtual machine at a time. Memory is also a factor, each virtual machine needs its own chunk while leaving enough for the host, if you've got only 8 gigs you'll hit the ceiling pretty quickly.

I did assumed it might have had something to do with the memory, as it commonly would. Though I have no issue running multiple OS(s) through VM on virtualbox - my gripe there is the performance/delay; however, because I heard it was possible to run Boxes and virtualbox simultaneously I assumed there was a workaround. Thank you for your response.

I have a 16 core cpu and 64gb ram, one reason being that I often run several vm`s simultaneously. VirtualBox on arch
