Yeah I debated mentioning it because fully agree - UUID should cover it. But idk what bootloader Garuda uses or how it configures it, and I have no experience going from an external USB-C enclosure to internal drive, is it really seamless?
I just trying to advise on the side of cautiousness.
I wouldn’t recommend swapping afterwards, moving devices around is a good way to confuse a bootloader and run into problems.
I think you should create your installation medium, remove the Windows SSD from laptop, install your new one, then install Linux.
You won’t need anything special to transfer files, but keep in mind windows 11 uses bitlocker by default, you’ll probably want to disable that while windows SSD is still in the laptop, otherwise that drive will remain encrypted and inaccessible by Linux.
Good luck!
There are system dialogs that have unused space for ads, still plenty to improve!
In all seriousness, cloud (azure) and office subscriptions blew up and account for like 70% of MS profits. They know the Windows experience is lacking, but when they already capture so much of the market and it’s such a small slice of revenue, they have no incentive to improve.
The combined forces of microsoft reaching new heights of greed and intrusion, plus the massive dev efforts for the best ever GNU Linux and Proton 📈📈📈
I read too fast you said found the receiver, haha. Yep, supported! Hopefully plug and play 🤞
Arch wiki says
Both the wired and wireless (with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) controllers are supported by the xpad kernel module and should work without additional packages.
I guess my question is, have you tried plugging in the receiver? You’ll need the receiver for it to work, they are 2.4Ghz not BT
Man is actually living the dream, the crazy son of a bitch did it.

I’ll always have Activision Classics disc for PS1, pitfall is safe.
Damn it how will I play my annual 20 minutes of Pitfall now. This is terrible.
This is a fair default and warning to the user.
Sounds like you’re rolling your own immutable os, in a way. Masochistic is an accurate description.
Hey op, after doing reading, I’m confident you can just dnf remove @gnome-desktop. The .config files will not be impacted. Applications with overlapping KDE dependencies will belong to two groups, and the operation will keep the ones that include the KDE group. I still recommend a backup.
It shouldn’t but I’m hesitant to say it won’t. Back up all the things you don’t want to lose, this is not a risk free maneuver. However in my limited experience it was the opposite - it’ll remove the applications, but you will still have now-useless config files from the removed environment in place taking up space.
Uninstall the gnome desktop package, reinstall the kde desktop package and that should pull the overlapping dependencies. Might need to do this from a virtual terminal, not in the desktop environment.
Or reinstall the OS.
Edit: there’s also dnf swap command available for fedora, I’m not really familiar with it’s behavior or how it acts when both DE are already installed, but maybe that could be a lead.

I’ll just be honest, from my perspective on lemmy everything outside of porn, linux and shitposts is lacking. Interaction outside the top of hot is a wasteland of non-existence, questions go undiscovered, comments are never read. We could all be more generous with upvotes to improve visibility.
For me sfw art communities, sports, and life protips would all be nice to see grow. I miss the old photoshopbattles too, but I think that’s just fallen out of style in general.
It does give some insight into how people think. Some people are bothered with UI events and placement, others wanted to reduce the bandwidth it required, we had one girl who approached it focused on the accessibility of the software, and unfortunately for us support was abysmal. You also need thick skin to invite random joe off the street to tell you how your software sucks.
Part of my previous company’s hiring process included having the candidate use our software, then asking what they thought of the experience and what improvements they thought would have the most impact. It wasn’t entirely useful because devs weren’t in control of prioritizing changes, but it was always interesting to see which pain points stuck out to the candidate.
Does a lot happen between an EOD standup, and the morning standup? Pick a lane lol
Well, if Garuda’s installer does what it’s supposed to do and assigns your boot drive by UUID, it really shouldn’t matter. I still think swapping before install and having the system in the planned final configuration minimizes the risk of failure.
Some background: There was a time in history where boot devices were defined by their physical port location, so if you reordered or moved drives, it was up to the user to update the boot config to align it to the new location. If the user didn’t know to do that step, the computer would fail to boot. Modern linux distros should use the drive’s unique hardware identifier to find the device, wherever it’s plugged in.
