You should do some research into using lvm - essentially one partition (pv) and named groups (vg), virtual partitions (lv's) that you can grow or shrink on demand as long as there's some free disk space still available

I like to name them by os + drive type, e.g. volume group names for you could be "mintnvme" and "nobusb"

The handbook is fantastic and Gentoo is a great learning experience - my tips are:

  • setup binrepos (saves a lot of compile time)
  • if using as a desktop, install a browser that has a binary package option like opera or vivaldi (or even Edge). Do not use chrom(ium) or firefox - they each take hours and/or massive ram to compile

Forwarded to my nieces and sister in laws with the message they can all expect steam machines for Christmas

This is the logical equivalent of charging a serial killer's parents with the murders their child committed. He ran and was elected on promises like fixing affordability and that he is the "most peaceful president".

Last month was the largest protest in the history of the nation against Trump. His approval rating is at 33%. Multiple impeachments have shown that is nearly impossible to legally remove a sitting president.

If you want you can blame Trump, his cabinet, the legislative/executive/judicial systems, right wing media/influencers, and then the voters (in that order).

Edit: oh, nevermind, I see you are a propagandist. You aren't interesting in facts/evidence/reason/pragmatics, only echoing messages that fit your narrative. Congrats, you are the same as Trump.

Nice, I'll post mine as a reply since it's very similar :)

Work: when I started we were Centos/RHEL with some Debian, then pivoted to primarily Debian, now we have pivoted to Ubuntu.

Work Desktop: Besides obligatory Windows I have been on Gentoo +KDE for the last 10 years, but the Chromium portage build times as well as some weird performance degradation finally became too much and I just recently switched to NixOS (with newer hardware).

Home Server: Slackware/Gentoo for a while starting in the mid 2000's, then stuck with FreeBSD for over a decade. Since then I've just happy with Raspian on an rpi, but looking at switching it to NixOS

Home Desktop: Wasn't much of a category for me and usually just a Windows junkie at home, but recently been very pleased with SteamOS

that whole movie was gold

Indeed, I miss the James Cameron golden era when he was pushing cinema boundaries and not pumping out the nth iteration of Avatar

American here - Yeah , I loved black licorice in my adolescence but I picked up some salty black licorice from IKEA this week and holy hell I do not like it.

This comic reminds me of my 14 year old niece expressing annoyance because an elderly person asked her if she knew how to get to the highway.

Retelling the story she said "Why are they talking to me? Just Google it"

The timeline of the comic is also wrong - I'm supposed to feel white guilt over this original sin because a 3x+ great great great ancestor I never met took immoral actions?
