How to Share a Folder from Linux Host to Windows 10 Guests on KVM. A Debian 11 (Bullseye) Guide.

 After many months, i finally moved everything from Windows to Linux but i am still playing my games on Windows with KVM VFIO.     Recently, i created a very cheap Linux - Debian gaming-streaming* VFIO PC where i can play some lovely games from my tablet in home or from any internet PC with Moonlight & Sunshine streams (future guides but i will add their links as references at the bottom of this guide so you know what i am talking about) and to support my home network with a Streaming PC to handle my family's streams with total cost less than 400 euro (future post too) and i wanted to have a shared folder from the Linux Hosts to Windows 10 gaming guests*.     I am chosing the Linux Host - Windows Guest implementation over the Windows Host - Windows Guest because i think the OS diversity increases the security of implementation and it minimizes the risk of infection of host from its guests and vice versa. Also since i decided to move from Windows to Linu...

How to Share a Folder from Linux KVM Host to Linux KVM Guests. A Debian 11 (Bullseye) guide.

 This Guide is the first of the many articles that will cover the tech part of my movement from Windows to Linux for everything including... gaming!      Recently, i have been experimenting  with Linux guests on a Linux KVM Host that i will use as streaming PC because of Software Raid 1 and i faced a problem when i tried to share a folder from the KVM Host to KVM Guest on a Debian 11 KVM. Of course there is an easy way to move files from KVM Guests with usb disks or flash drives (with Virt Manager is just an Add Hardware > Usb Host Device) but after a while this mount procedure on Linux KVM Guest becomes annoying...    So, i started searching for a permanent way to share a folder from the Host Machine to its Linux Guest and i found a better way than all the promoted ways i found on the internet and without changing the permissions of the libvrt service by taking the root permissions like many suggest on their guides or by changing the shared folder ...

The Gaming on Linux Era has Officialy Started.

 No more Games only for Windows!      "Games for Windows is a discontinued brand owned by Microsoft and introduced in 2006 to coincide with the release of the Windows Vista operating system. The brand itself represents a standardized technical certification program and online service for Windows games, bringing a measure of regulation to the PC game market in much the same way that console manufacturers regulate their platforms. The branding program was open to both first-party and third-party publishers." as we informed from Wikipedia for GamesforWindows.com that is a no working link anymore.     But this is not a reason for the declaration of the gaming for Linux era, right? Right! The reason is this announcement below. BattlEye has provided native Linux and Mac support for a long time and we can announce that we will also support the upcoming Steam Deck (Proton). This will be done on an opt-in basis with game developers choosing whet...

SRCSET Script for Batch Creation Many Different Dimensions of an Image on Linux.

 Web Devs Should Use Srcset For Images.         Enough with manifests. I will not explain why Srcset is the future of web for images (responsive images) because Google that offers the blogger platform to us for writing our stories knows that SRCSET is the key for better Web and they are already be part of Webp project and they implemented automatically this feature when we upload images to our blogs. The /s[Number]/ part of the image url when we upload an image is the width of the image we uploaded and this is why the original link of our 800x600 uploaded image for example has the /s800/ as part of the image link.      But how we can create different dimension sizes of our images if we want to create a manual carousel like this i have in my front page ? Manually ? Good Luck on hating your self and your favored image manipulating program (btw, mine is GIMP). i tried once to cr...
