#Blind #techies, I just found out #vmware doesn't officially support #ArchLinux, and I think that could be part of the reason why things aren't working right. Is there another accessible virtual machine option for #Windows?

I'd suggest UTM, but I'm pretty sure that only works on mac and IOS: https://mac.getutm.app/

@fastfinge I'll look into it. Never heard of it before. I have an iPhone but it's an iPhone 13 Mini and not in the greatest shape, so probably not good for that kind of thing.

Worth a shot I guess? One review in the app store says it runs on an iPad 12, if slowly. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/utm-se-retro-pc-emulator/id1564628856

@fastfinge I was thinking about it, and I want to work on my computer, not my phone. I guess I either need to use a different Linux distro or try Virtualbox.

Fair enough, you'd need a good Bluetooth keyboard to work on the phone. Or a later iPhone that will allow you to connect a regular keyboard via USBC.
