I was reading John Knight’s review of the GamePad Digital XD in the January 2017 issue. The man must be clairvoyant – he already knows how much the Nintendo Switch will cost before Nintendo has even announced it themselves. LesBLabbauf, Harrisburg,USA Neil says: OK, you caught us out! This, however, was nothing to do with John Knight but myself, trying to pin a relative cost to the Digital XD. We’re not gaming experts here, so we genuinely thought the pre-order price of £199 used by a few outlets was the real one – apparently not. However, it’s not a good comparison because the £279 Nintendo Switch is cutting-edge hardware with custom wireless controllers, a docking base and Nintendo software. The GamePad Digital XD offers hardware more in line with the four-year-old Moto G (which sells for £75), Android 4.4 and a dubious Chinese downloaded games emulator.
not currently support Wayland reliably [confirmedbymy experience], please use other virtualization solutions, such as Virt-Manager.”
However, Virt-Manager is recommended only if you know what you’re doing and/or it works the first time. Otherwise, it’s a lot of updated software installs, did you try, don’t forget, and be sure to, NOT included in the documentation or the initial process. By the way, which of the Linux OS versions under
Virt-Manager is Arch Linux? It’s straightforward in VirtualBox, but a mystery in Virt-Manager. Use Virt-Manager if you like challenges. Otherwise, just burn it to DVD or put it on a USB stick.
Oh, and unless you really want to be a part of the alpha testing, wait for the beta, release candidate or final version, when it will have probably moved much further along than just the looks really nice (and likely crashes quite a bit) phase of its development.

Neil says: Mike, you sound angry. You’re not wrong, though – there are certainly issues running
Wayland- based distributions, even in the latest release of
VirtualBox5.1.20. Fedora 25 and 26 refuse to boot to a Wayland desktop. You could try Gnomeboxes, which is a front-end for QEMU. We had more success running Wayland desktop through that, though with an up-to-date build on Arch. The version on Ubuntu 16.04 still had input issues, but it did at least start.
