    I’ve honestly never tried dual booting form the same drive, I technically have the room on my desktop, but I prefer the redundancy of having two separate drives for my OSes. It’s been helpful in the past when I’ve had one of them malfunction since I could just switch to the other, recover the...

    Site domain update

    *Laughs in was logged into both* Honestly though, it really was annoying as hell, because sometimes you’d end up going from one to the other without realizing it, link back to a post what was on either or and somebody would inevitably end up having to log in all over again. Nobody would ever...

    Just hit chapter 13 in your story (I won’t necro it since it’s been almost 3 months), if there isn’t a picture somewhere of a Nox and an SG member throwing a peace sign and/or giving bunny ears, I’ll eat my hat.

    Now that I've gotten enough sleep to think clearly. On the whole, I'd say that it's easier to get straight answers out of the Ubuntu branch of the Linux community when you've got a problem. The arch branch tends to just tell you to RTFM, which (while sound advice on the whole) is not...

    I swear, some days companies need to stop hiding the "pretend I'm stupid" instructions, because some days I'm a total flipping moron and I hate having to jump through hoops trying to find the step-by-step instructions when I'm already exhausted and only pushing forward because i can't sleep and...

    Oh, mistakes were made. I decided to try CachyOS with one of the lightweight desktops that I'm not used to. That was the wrong choice, I couldn't find anything and it was missing options that I am very used to now. Like searching the menu, I very much like that feature. LXDE was a painful...

    Oh, Lord, I'd forgotten about that. Terminal works fairly similarly to that, as you've probably experienced. There's lots of power available in the terminal that lets you do things you couldn't do through a GUI without probably at least a dozen menus. Pretty damn well, honestly. Most of the...

    That’s what I thought, but I haven’t actively run Windows as my primary since XP and even then I only ever did things like gaming with it, I jumped ship completely after 10 took over (after having managed to skip 7 and Vista entirely). At this point I literally only use Windows if I’m using a...

    Yeah, the partition is called ‘swap’ in linux. Here’s an article that gives a decent rundown. Not sure if it runs the same way on Windows, but basically it takes a chunk of the burden off of RAM to free up more of it for more active processes.

    It's usually referred to as Virtual RAM or Virtual Memory. It’s been a feature for… a couple decades at least, probably far longer than that, tbh.

    This is definitely a fair point. Good catch. Arch (like Gentoo) is really easy to fuck up if you’re not careful from what I’ve heard/understand. One of these days I’ll get around to playing around in that sandbox. Probably when I’m 90 or so, given my history of procrastination. Of course! I...

    Nice, welcome to the club. Probably my favorite feature with pretty much any GNU/Linux OS is that if the thing bricks on you, there’s a decent chance that you can still retrieve the data from your harddrive (don’t forget your password). I’ve done it a couple times and it’s super useful. Fair...
