This complicates things, and I’ve read about the unreliability of those adapters, but I have sneaking suspicion that 4k capable displaylink adapters fail when they’re actually used with 4k displays(I’ve read through dozens of comments on amazon, and 90% of people with failed adapters had that use case). This setup also creates an interesting problem - I won’t be able to hookup external monitors to my laptop, because the hdmi output is wired directly to the dedicated GPU, and I’ll be using intel iGPU on my host system, so the solution that I came up with(it’s not a great one, I know) is to use displaylink. ![]() Looking glass is cool and all, but I want to have a seamless Windows applications on my desktop, so I’ll be accessing the VM through RDP with remoteapp. I also intend to pass through the dedicated GPU to the windows VM. I’ll probably allocate 5(of the 6 available) cores and 48GB of RAM to the VM. ![]() I also want to run Windows 10 LTSB in a virtual machine. The way I intend to set it up is to have Void Linux running with ZFS on root. The thing is that most of the software that I need runs exclusively on Windows, but I’m more comfortable using Linux as a daily driver, and I like tinkering and customising my setups till I have them just the way I like it. 3840 x 2400 px, non glossy, non touch displayĪnd then… It spent the last 8 months in its box, because I didn’t have time to set it all up….I could have built a desktop with all of that, but I’m hoping to land a job in another part of Europe, so having a mobile workstation that I could easily take with me is perfect.Īfter thinking about it and analysing my options(which took me over a year) I decided to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen4 in pretty much it’s top configuration: I’m doing mostly mechanical design work and mechanical as well as thermo-mechanical simulations, so that means that I needed a pretty hefty cpu, and having a quadro would be a boon as well. There are several projects that I have in mind, but first of all I have to setup my laptop. Of course I could do that in a local document, but I thought that maybe some of the stuff here would be useful to other people. I decided that I needed to document what I’m actually doing with stuff, so that I can more easily replicate that. ![]()
