Yes

All over the place…

Jokes on you, my system is (mostly) -O3

Usually KDE, but I’m messing around with qtile atm.

I think it’s literally called “SQLite”. I haven’t used it though, so idk how good it is…

TrueNAS Scale if you want something simple that just works and Proxmox if you wanna configure/customize stuff with a lot more power under the hood…

Imo, either choice is better than unraid.

doesn’t vscode have an extension that does that?

My question is… why proton drive and not github or codeberg or… literally any VCS?

I was also one of those people who didn’t realize that it copied UUIDs. I only figured that out, because I imagined that I’d have to update the fstab to point to the UUIDs of the partitions on the new drive.

I don’t do full backups, just of the things I really care about

I already have all data I care about backed up, so even if I lose some, it’s not a big deal

I do have backups, I just don’t wanna bother reconfiguring the system and reinstalling everything

Hm, using a smaller block size does make sense, but I imagine that cloning an entire drive with 512 byte blocks is gonna take 10 million years. Especially this one, since the main reason I’m suspecting that it has started failing is because it’s slowed down to the point where it drags down the entire system when even the smallest of loads hit it…

Yeah, but how do I “Just dd it”. I know all about disk destroyer, so I’m a bit terrified of dd and have never really used it like that before…

Yeah, but… how. I’m a bit terrified of dd and have only really used it to make images of drives before…

I’d still recommend dual booting, just in case…

I’d say dual boot. Jumping ship from windows to linux without it is very hard, especially if you enjoy playing a windows-only game or rely on windows-only software. A virtual machine can work for some basic software, but you need to do GPU passt trough to the VM to be able to game at all, which is a… let’s just say not insignificant amount of messing around and configuring stuff.

Android studio?

Chimera Linux is also a pretty cool independent distro…

I mostly use Spotify, but have the flacs of a few albums I really like on navidrome. As for how I got them… Yeah. I do have the for CDs a few of them but I don’t have a CD reader and most of them are completely destroyed, so I feel like piracy is justified for those.
