having a virtual windows 10 in linux for games
i have seen some people use Linux as a main system and have windows 10 virtualized for games
what i wanna know will that effect the preformance?
and how much ram do i need?
edit: if i have them as a dual boot will that fix the ram issue or the ram will be splited
info that might help:
i will mainly use linux for my privacy also for daily searching the web & watch youtube but i'll use windows for games and maybe video editing software

Help connecting to local 'server' laptop while the 'server laptop is connected to the internet using NordVPN
Hi All,
I'm not sure if this is a difficult or easy (or even possible request) but I'm not an expert in networking so I thought that I would ask you guys andsee if you have any ideas.
In my home I have my personal laptop and my 'server' laptop. The server laptop is just acting as a file server. Presently I connect to Usenet and torrents on my personal laptop and when the hdd is full i just transfer it across to my server via external hdd.
What I would like to do is set up my server so that it is running the usenet and bit torrent and can download directly to my hdd's (I'm using sabnzb and transmission so I can access the applications on my personal machine via a web browser).
I installed the applications and everything works fine...except for when I turn NordVPN on in my server. At which point the web browser connection does not work.
I imagine that this is occurring because the server is given a new (public internet facing) and so i can no longer access it. I've come across the following solutions:
1. Setting my router to use NordVPN. But i would prefer to use wireguard as I am presently doing instead of switching to openvpn
2. I have wifi on my server laptop. I presume (though would require more research) connect via that. But I don't know how to do this (I presume it would be difficult) and it seems like going through a lot to access my file server (plus while I am streaming over my routers wifi I would imaging that there are serious bandwidth restraints doing so)
3. Connecting to my NordVPN server laptop over the net. While i imagine is the easiest option I think it would rule out my streaming from my hdd
4. I have a spare raspberry pi and i think that I could route all my internet traffic through there. But I've never set that up before (I imagine it involves setting up a firewall, gateways, rout tables,...) but I don't even know what this is called and am not sure even what to do here. And I don't know if the pi could handle that much bandwidth (though it is just two computers)
At this point I am just browsing random tutorials online to trying to find something that fits my needs but I feel like I might just go on like this for months.
If anyone has any ideas then let please let me know.

Call for help: please help us convince Mozilla to give us back the old address bar behavior in Firefox on Linux!
Hello.
The last version of Firefox (75) made some controversial changes regarding the address bar.
One of those changes was (quoting from their release notes):
>On Linux, the behavior when clicking on the Address Bar and the Search Bar now matches other desktop platforms: a single click selects all without primary selection, a double click selects a word, and a triple click selects all with primary selection
Many users absolutely **hate** this, myself included. Worse yet, they did not only change the default - they also simultaneously made it impossible to go back to the old behavior by removing the pref that controls this.
So now I'd like to ask for help - *if* you also don't like this or you *do* like it but you still think that the users should be able to choose (instead of being forced by Mozilla) then please do the following:
1. Register an account on [Mozilla's bugzilla](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/).
2. Go to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=1621570](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621570)
3. Do **not** comment; instead click on "Details" (It's above the "Attachments") and then click the button to add your vote. (You'll have to check the checkbox on the next page and apply it.)
4. That's all. Thank you!

Pulseaudio can turn your computer into Bluetooth speakers for your phone
I don't know how many of you knew this, but I certainly didn't and it can come in quite handy during quarantine. It all seems to be automatic on Arch, so I imagine it is on most distros.
If you add the pulseaudio-bluetooth package, then open /etc/pulse/system.pa and add the following two lines:
load-module module-bluetooth-policy
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
then all you have to do is pair your phone to your computer. Then, when you play audio from your phone, it automatically plays on your computer as long as they're connected via bluetooth. It also seems to route call audio through your computer.

Linux and redhat influence
Hey there,
in the last years I seen one of the most important contributor of linux and open source, redhat, release many important projects like systemd, Gnome, glusterfs and many other and contribution to other projects/tools (see these list [contribution](https://www.redhat.com/en/about/open-source-program-office/contributions).
Many of this projects now are present in many (if not all) Linux distributions (see systemd) and the influence of redhat is spreading, not only in rhel, centos, fedora and derivates but also in many Linux distribution. The influence of redhat is, in some way, addressing the future of Linux and development direction. Distro that are on the other side, like debian family, Suse family are, in some way, affected by the huge contribution/development of redhat in the open source world.
This is not so bad, because most of this project are very usefull and powerfull but on the other side many users could see this like a bad thing where at the end all distro are affected. In each distro there is a piece of something where redhat give its contribution.
What do you think about it?
It' s a bad or a good thing?

Linux server side port forwarding?
I know this is not purely a linux question but my server is a DO 18.04.3. my Domain is with Godaddy. I run a couple of things on it. A Sync Server running Resilio-Sync, My Unifi and UNMS controllers. Everything works great. However to access some of my stuff i keep having to type in the port... its kind of a pain....
I have three sub domains:
unifi.mydomain.com
unms.mydomain.com
sync.mydomain.com
However, each one has a different port. so for right now the subdomains are kind of pointless (other than the devices that report back to the server use the subdomains. Anyways..... What can i setup on the server side to recognize the incoming subdomain and forward it to the correct port? I tried searching for something but im pretty sure im just using the wrong keywords.

[Issue] Broadcom BCM43602 N/W after Suspend
Hey guys! Looking for a stable driver for BCM43602 \[14e4:43ba\]
I'm a total linux nub, although I'm definitely enjoying the learning experience. After a few suspends the wifi card just stops working. The network manager is still available (and happily restarts) but down't show any wireless networks. Restarting the NM has no effect. Manually scanning for networks via the terminal doesn't do anything. The only remedy appears to be a full reset of the machine, which you can probably imagine, is very annoying!! Needing some help with this, it is my only niggle with the whole experience. For your info I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with the 5.4.0-21generic kernel on a MacBook Pro 12,1 (early 2015 I think). Hope somebody can come up with a solution, either that or priovide a link to another thread that I may have blindly missed while I trawled through the depths of the net for the last week or so. Cheers!!!

Linux's consumer market share is about 40%!!
Definitions:
Linux = Linux Kernel
Linux System = Desktop / workstation / laptop running an operating system that uses the Linux Kernel
Consumer market share = non server operating system market share
​
Linux now makes up around 40% of all consumer marketshare!!! This is due to Android using the Linux Kernel and an increasing popularity of the Linux System. For reference, Windows (Windows NT) only makes up 34.96% of all consumer market share! This makes Linux the most popular kernel!!
