  • The typical distro’s installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don’t worry about that. I’m doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.


  • Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

    Yes, easily done.
    Open KDE partition manager
    Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
    Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
    Once it’s transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
    Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check “automatically mount on boot”

    You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

    In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!

    Well it’s there at least. Hmm. I don’t know a whole lot about windows but you can certainly get back to those boot options you saw before by pressing shift while booting, which will open the GRUB options. I’d give the windows boot manager another shot from there.

    If that ends up working you can change the grub settings to wait for input instead of automatically booting pop. If that doesn’t work then something is probably wrong with windows and I would just try reinstalling since it sounds like you don’t have anything on there yet.

    This reminds me of one of the best bits from the Xanth novels, where the male unicorns peacock for the female unicorns by leaping in the air and landing horn-first in the ground, then see who can balance like that the longest.

    Which is second only to the part in the same book where the main character is taking a shit in the woods when a harpy shows up and he has to try to run away with his pants down, unwiped, while the harpy is shouting abuse after him data-laughing






  • It’s very easy to say this, because it means you can just reject any evidence to the contrary as “not good” or “biased”.

    Accusations of genocide aren’t a fucking game. It’s either happening or it isn’t. Either the evidence is good or the evidence is bad (and all evidence is biased) So give us some good evidence.

    Pretend all you want that you’re “just asking questions”
    That’s pretty much exactly the same as the Israeli line

    vibes of a genocide denier

    doesn’t change facts.

    What facts! I’m still waiting for one. We can go round and round all day but until you show me something to center this on it’ll be a waste of time. In 30 years even your ABC will quietly walk back their claims of genocide and I hope when that happens you will tell the people around you not to trust the same sources that lied to you.
