  • You can use the gparted tool to graphically remove the partition(s) and then format them to whatever file system type you are interested in and just have those mounted as extra data drives. Or merge them into your Linux partition (depending on setup). That will require gparted to be run as sudo as you are interacting with disks.

    Alternatively, you can a tool like fdisk to change partitioning in terminal. You can pull the disk info using something like lsblk, so if you had a specific drive it might be sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1, then you’d want to print the current table and look through the help.









  • What always gets me is recommendations for what seem like weird obscure distros that I’ve never heard of.

    What should I use for gaming? Well, for that you need Fizzlegit! It was released in 2025, is a derivative of a derivative of a derivative, and uses the same repos, but it has Steam preinstalled. Its totally next-gen!

    Maybe something like Comparison, but you have to understand everything can be changed. So, Just because you have KDE, doesn’t mean you have to stick with Dolphin for files management, etc. Window managers are even more free form. You don’t get a file manager, or image viewer, or text editor. You get a window manager. You can use whatever you want to install though. You also have floating vs tiled windows.

    You might just look through screenshots in Google Images and see what looks good to you and then install that.

    That’s a fair point. Others could be installed via pacman or apt, but if the user is wanting out of the box, then that’s true. I think 6.8 does support 9070xt, but the safest and probably simplest opinion is Bazzite like you said.

    Wayland support differs between their display managers (GDM and SDDM). Outside of that and a few other low levels things that you probably wouldn’t care about, it is mostly just flavoring.

    And understand that its not a choice just between those two DEs. There are many others that you can use (ex. mate, cinnamon, etc), and even just window managers (ex. i3wm, hyprland, openbox, etc) you can mix and match with many other file managers,etc.







  • I noticed some comments saying “You can’t pirate free software”. I would take that as a challenge, so here’s how to pirate Lemmy.

    Firstly, “free” software is extremely rare. Lemmy isn’t free, its governed by the AGPLv3. Per the AGPLv3, if you pull the author attribution/licensing text, say “I made this” , and start distributing it out, you’ve committed copyright infringement and illegally distributed it (piracy). So, that means we CAN pirate Lemmy:

    1. Fork the existing Lemmy repo into our own project
    2. Remove all reference to the original authors and licensing and put your own name on it.
    3. Change the name to something else and start sharing it out.
    4. Optionally charge money for it

    NOTE: Never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.


  • I didn’t skim. You only wrote 3 lines…

    At this point you’re just trying to argue semantics like that will somehow make your non-points logically coherent. As for that last thing you wrote that you said you didn’t write, its verbatim from your later comment. so yeah you did say that. Literally just had to scroll up to find it, man. That wasn’t hard.

    Either way, doesn’t matter. You’re just backpedaling at this point trying to say you either didn’t say something or argue that I’m wrong because your analogies don’t make sense (like I’m responsible for your bad writing). I’ve given you terms to research, I hope you do better when you try to start arguments online in the future because you did a terrible job tonight. Later.
