Greatest video ever
What's this from?
Nobleknight Adventures (I believe this is the entire short, but there are others on the channel.)
Finally some joy in this world. Thanks.
Man, I had stuff to do today. Now I'm just going to end up watching this over and over for 7 hours.
Love this guy lol
He looks familiar but I just can put his name to a face
Noble Knight Adventures. I think his name is William papillon?
William Papadin. Anyway, as long as I'm looking up his channel to share it, here's my other favorite video of his.
That is a good one! I like the whole BWILA saga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGnUvwbPIg
Damn, I tux rolled a masterpiece today

Edit: autocorrect strikes again.
Closer than I was, friend!
Recovered a broken Kubuntu install I tried switching to that got broken on a missconfig'd update, half broken Linux install and it was still better and more featured than my W11... I am hopeful that I can finally make the switch permanent
I recommend making your /home a separate partition. It makes switching distros easier and also allows you to not encrypt your installation and only your own files, saving you from the headache in the case LUKS doesn't work properly anymore.
How much storage space do you allocate for the OS?
I allocated 75gb on my 1tb drive to Fedora and most of the rest (~900gb) to my /home. After over 2 years and a few upgrades (Workstation 37-42 IIRC) itβs sitting at 64.2% used.
The greybeards I learned from many moons ago liked to split /var, /bin, and /tmp from / as well as /home. I havenβt gone that far in some time though. As always YMMV.
Not OC - I read a recommendation of 20GB on reddit, only to get to the limit very fast and repartition. From my experience, 40GB is the magic number.
Honestly, I'd argue it depends on the use case. A lightweight distro meant for basic tasks will never consume as much as a gaming one. Factoring in that your snapshots will naturally grow over time (and thus disk space) will mean that repartitioning, and getting bigger hard drives, is always a thing.
I'd still just trust the general installation guide, if it offers automatic partition allocation. Just only do partitions for /boot, / and /home, I've never found much use for /var /log and such as a separate partition, at least as a home user.
And when in doubt: use LVM with ext4 for dynamic partitions. BTRFS has a similar feature, but it's still experimental, and thus potentially unstable.
My average dream as linux user of 8 years.
But what about commas? Do you have commas? Here, take some: ",,,,,,"
Ahhh noble knight glad to have you aboard!
Donβt worry, Iβm getting my minusforum AI X1 in an hour and tonight is OpenSuse Thumbleweed (Sway WM) installation night!
I even have popcorn and sweets to pass the time during downloads and zypper installs, canβt wait π€
