    You’ll have to use a virtual machine and pass through the USB device.

    You’ll have to install QEMU (ideally qemu-desktop since you’ll only need the x86 VM), libvirt, and virt-manager. Start the libvirtd service (enables the management interface), then run virsh net-start default as root (enables networking). Create and install a Windows virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Manager application. I recommend Windows 10 or earlier because 11 needs extra steps. Once the VM is running, open the Virtual Machine menu, click on “Redirect USB Device”, then choose the device you want to configure. It will be detached from the host OS and passed through directly to the guest.








  • Géza Hofi was one of the greatest comedians in Hungarian history. He was active under and very outspoken about the failures of the ruling communist party. One of his most memorable performances was “How many pigs will be born?” (video, unfortunately without subtitles).

    Party officials, wearing nice brown trench coats, visit old man Joe’s farm.
    “Comrade Joseph, how many pigs will be born?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Shut your mouth, peasant, and give me the number.”
    “What’s the plan?”
    “14.”
    “Then it’ll be 14. Have you told the swine? Better that you talk to her, since you’re both on the same level.”
