Running Windows 11 on Linux with KVM/QEMU

This guide walks through the full process of running Windows 11 on Linux using KVM/QEMU and Virt-Manager,  the most robust and future-proof setup available today. While tools like VirtualBox still exist, KVM/QEMU has quietly become the gold standard on Linux. It offers: Near-native CPU performance Excellent disk and network throughput Proper UEFI, Secure Boot, and TPM support Long-term compatibility with Windows 11 updates Before starting, make sure you have: A Linux system with virtualization enabled in BIOS Intel: VT-x / VT-d AMD: SVM / IOMMU At least 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended) Around 80 GB of free disk space A Windows 11 ISO The VirtIO drivers ISO Step 1: Check Virtualization Support Open a terminal and run: egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo If the result is 1 or higher , virtualization is enabled. If it returns 0 , you’ll need to enable it in your BIOS before continuing. Step 2: Install KVM, QEMU, and Virt-Manager On Ubuntu / Debian-based systems: sudo apt update sudo...

Project G-Assist



NVIDIA has officially launched Project G-Assist, an AI assistant designed to enhance the PC experience for gamers and creators alike. 

Initially teased as an April Fool's joke in 2017, G-Assist has now become a reality, offering a suite of features aimed at optimizing system performance and user convenience

G-Assist provides real-time diagnostics to identify and alleviate system bottlenecks, improve power efficiency, and optimize game settings. Users can request performance metrics such as FPS, latency, GPU utilization, and temperature, and receive tailored recommendations.

The assistant can manage settings for supported peripherals from brands like Logitech G, Corsair, MSI, and Nanoleaf, allowing users to adjust lighting and fan speeds through simple commands. 

Unlike cloud-based AI models, G-Assist operates entirely on-device using a Llama-based Small Language Model (SLM) with 8 billion parameters. This ensures responsive performance without the need for an internet connection or subscription.

System Requirements:

To utilize G-Assist, users need a GeForce RTX 30, 40, or 50 Series Desktop GPU with at least 12GB of VRAM, running on Windows 10 or 11. The installation requires 6.5GB of disk space for the System Assistant and an additional 3GB for Voice Commands. 

Project G-Assist is available for download through the NVIDIA app's Discover section. Once installed, users can activate the assistant by pressing Alt+G. As an experimental feature, NVIDIA welcomes user feedback to guide future improvements and feature developments.
