Having that gaming rig, do you not have a spare hard drive laying around? You can eliminate many of the hurdles by not using a VM. ..and staying away from Kali

True? and if so, how is the best way to go about that? Uninstall in Pybomb and then reinstall rtl-sdr and gr-osmosdr or ????? sudo apt-get update kinda thing???
