I’ve always been interested in making use of specific processors ever since I experimented with proxmox. I think I just felt drawn to it because it sounded cool to assign the use of ‘sockets’ and virtual cpus. The assumption being that I could learn to optimize the hardware I had. Thanks for your comment, it is something I continue to think about. I wonder how many cores I would need to actually execute the ‘live update’ process you mentioned. The documentation in my distro also mentioned another similar feature, a way to make the system available with either the tiling window manager or a more standard env. Similar to the “snapshots” you would choose which env to boot into, both would be the same system with all of your files accessible. I don’t know that I would need to switch between window managers but its a nice option.
