Yeah, it's sad and part of what makes me happy seeing this post. Knowing her daughter is a celebrity means Minnie will be remembered that much longer

I looked into this little bit.

So on a 512gb hd an e.g. breakdown:

Windows 150gb
Linux / 30gb
Linux /home ? 70gb
Data (nfts format, shared with both os) 262gb (or whatever is actually left over)

(I'll have an external HD for games)

I appreciate the tips, thank you. When you mention making a separate home partition in Linux: my understanding is that we unallocate hard drive space from Windows and, when we first install Linux, it will use that free space to make its own partition. Are you referring to another step, beyond that?

It says it's notheonion but my brain wants to insist that it's the Onion

Nice, thank you. This was the piece I was curious about!

This would only search one instance, is that right?

This is pretty interesting. Although this is a pretty thorough answer, is there somewhere that I can find more deets? Or is there a term for this approach that can launchpad further research?

Thank you!

I think that's where I'm at, too, where I don't mind have to re-do certain things down the road if I switch approaches or commit to a certain direction

I plan to look into this ofc, but if the games are on an external hd, would Linux use the same files as Windows? I.e. you don't need two copies of the game so long as it's on a format like NTFS that both can read? Was wondering whether to partition the external HD to have a Windows side and then a Linux side, with the latter formatted to ext4

All my games are off steam currently lol. I'm hearing the collective message of how feasible Linux is for gaming, tho

Keeping windows is also an "in case" measure because I'm ignorant with both OS, at this point: in case some use case comes up where having Windows is easiest to get something done. My goal is to keep to Linux as much as possible. Purely because I want to become familiar with it

I was going to put games on an external hard drive, at least for Windows side. Maybe I should also partition the external HD and have an ext4 formatted partition for when I decide to game on the Linux side?
