jonp Posted Wednesday at 09:27 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:27 PM It's hard to believe it's already been a year since we launched the HexOS Beta and the early access campaign. What a journey it's been! In today's blog post, we're going to provide a summary of this past year's accomplishments, a run-down of what's left to achieve our 1.0 release, what's coming next, an update on the AnyRaid project, and our HexOS Holiday Sale! Read all about it in our latest blog post: https://docs.hexos.com/blog/2025-11-26.html 2
G-M0N3Y-2503 Posted Wednesday at 10:51 PM Posted Wednesday at 10:51 PM Ooh the VM stuff sounds great! I've setup a SteamOS system instead of Windows, Exactly like the blog suggested, already! But it's been a pain managing it so looking forward for that to be easier! As an aside my PCI IDs haven't been stable adding/removing NVME drives on a consumer Motherboard, meaning I have to fix the VM every time I change unrelated hardware. So that could be a thorn in a curated approach when you get around to it.

So that could be a thorn in a curated approach when you get around to it. We know about this problem all-too-well. The VM features will come in layers, but our plan is to try and get ahead of those kinds of problems by detecting hardware changes and automatically adjusting device ID mappings to your VMs before they start. This still needs a lot of R&D work and there are lots of potential gotchas, but I bet we can address a lot of common scenarios like what you've described. It gets more tricky when you have multiple GPUs in a system of the same make/model, as it's hard to know which one is which for assignment to VMs. I'd say that's a problem for after the initial VMs feature release for us to investigate further. Ultimately there will be some limits to what we can do, but we're going to do this as best as is humanly possible. 3
SignedAdam Posted 42 minutes ago Posted 42 minutes ago The backup stuff sounds great, any serious system should have the ability to backup and restore, especially when apps like Immich are being recommended, seeing away to back all this stuff up would make HexOS a serious contender in the networking and diy nas space, maybe even business
