 K900 | Everything on the Windows side | 10:10:47 |
| K900 | And everything on the firmware side | 10:10:55 |
 crushing-smite | but that is regardless of I use libvirt or dig deep into the configs referenced above? | 10:11:06 |
| K900 | I don't know what those configs do | 10:11:12 |
| K900 | Maybe someone has a way to automate that | 10:11:20 |
| K900 | It should be possible in theory | 10:11:31 |
| crushing-smite | and what is that that's on windows and on firmware sides? | 10:11:32 |
| K900 | On the Windows side, installing Windows, getting a license, installing the Looking Glass server | 10:11:55 |
| K900 | On the firmware side, enabling virtualization and IOMMU, possibly IOMMU group assignments if your firmware does something stupid out of the box | 10:12:13 |
| crushing-smite | so, the firmware - the things I would do after hitting F12 on boot? | 10:12:29 |
| K900 | Yes | 10:12:43 |
| K900 | The "BIOS" | 10:12:46 |
| K900 | (but it's not really a BIOS anymore, so "firmware" is the correct term) | 10:13:04 |
| crushing-smite | I still don't get why it is called BIOS, yet I am using EFI? | 10:13:05 |
| crushing-smite | ok, that resolves it | 10:13:12 |
| K900 | Because everyone calls it that out of inertia | 10:13:19 |
| K900 | Except weirdos like myself that make a point of saying "firmware" | 10:13:28 |
| crushing-smite | What was it called initially by ultra-pedantic people? | 10:13:38 |
| K900 | What is "it"? | 10:13:46 |
| crushing-smite | the bios-firmware | 10:13:51 |
| crushing-smite | was it always called firmware? | 10:13:55 |
| K900 | It used to be called BIOS | 10:14:07 |
| crushing-smite | :( | 10:14:14 |
| K900 | As in Basic Input/Output System | 10:14:36 |
| K900 | It's a specific thing that used to exist | 10:14:40 |
| K900 | On like old PC/ATs | 10:14:57 |
| K900 | And it was just something IBM built for the PC/AT and they called it that | 10:15:11 |
| crushing-smite | EFI = firmware, UEFI = bootloader? | 10:15:26 |
| K900 | And then people started making IBM PC clones and those also had to clone the IBM BIOS | 10:15:28 |
| K900 | So any IBM PC compatible computer would have a BIOS | 10:15:58 |
