Well he technically only need 512 gigs but had to double it because some dude on the internet said so.

Second rule of computer building is just keep the receipt until after it passes 40 minutes of memtest. Third rule is to ignore rule one, nobody does that.

There’s not a lot of ways to directly do what you are talking about. Closest I can come up with would be a small program that shrinks the windows partition, creates new partitions for the linux install, reboots into the new linux system, kicks off a migration tool that deletes all the data you don’t want to bring over, shrink the windows partition again, migrate data over in chunks to the home folder partition, resize and move more chunks, eventually deleting windows entirely and leaving a fragmented mess of a Linux install with a lot of chances for shit to go wrong.

It’s safer and cleaner to back up, wipe, start over.

Holy crap, this is amazing! I can take shitty wifi cams I have in storage and make them reliable, cloudless Ethernet cams! Woohoo!

I haven’t heard of veilid before. How does it fit with the privacy tech like i2pd, Tahos-lafs, reticulum, etc?

Wait, you just need to open the 7z file and duckstation can read that.

This gives me an idea….

Remember lifeline? What if we had something like that where each time you logged in, the MOD would pop up like a voicemail from your contact. You send your response to the station from the CLI and then have to wait another day for a response. Taylor-like penpal from the CLI.

Let them kill eachother

It’s a matter of their ties with palentier at this point. We aren’t paying for that.

I’m using fedora server right now and my daily driver is still a Mac at the moment. I’m still transitioning.

While I generally agree, the benefit of it being gaming focused means if he has to look something up any community or support he finds will already be familiar with exactly what he’s trying to accomplish. It will help the newbie when I’m not available to.

mint is in a weird place with wayland right now so I’m not putting him on that.

Don’t even get me started

do you think it could be safer to dual boot if windows an linux are on separate physical drives? he really doesnt want win11 but for a few of his games he’s going to need it.

He’s not going to want to tinker. This is a pc he wants to work like a console

I didn’t k ow win oat was VM based. I thought is was like a prettier wine.

We aren’t building with nvidia. Absolutely not.

Ima save you some time. If you want solidworks, use windows. Making fusion work properly under Linux is obnoxious enough but solidworks? It can be done but it’s much less agonizing shoving pine needles under your fingernails instead.

It sounds like you want fedora coreOS maybe?

Linux does what I want it to do. Windows doesn’t.
