Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2018, and I'm dipping my toes into virtual machine, tried VirtualBox and then moved to QEMU with UTM after some recommendation on YouTube saying KVM is just better.

However, my Windows 10 virtual machine created with UTM is so slow and laggy. Then I tried the Parallel Desktop, which is propriety and the performance is so much better. Why is that?

I don't want to use a propriety paid program for VM, so I want to ask how to improve performance on UTM or any open-source alternative that gives the performance on par with one on parallel desktop.

Thanks for your help!

is it any better than Invidious? I usually watch through yewtu.be

I used bare git repo before, then switch to GNU Stow + Nix home-manager.

It's open-source and only on F-droid

Comic Sans is the answer.

Fzf Tmux Session Manager (howarddo2208.github.io)

I already posted this on c/commandline but I think it's more suitable here.

Hi guys, it's my new blog post on managing snippets with a TUI program called Nap. I know it not addressing Neovim specifically, but writing code in the terminal in general, and I'm requesting Tmux community btw. Hope you find the blog useful.

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.
