Anyway, @wallhackio , Linux installation progress??
@wallhackio I will keep annoying you about Linux until you finally finish installing Linux
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio good
@aescling @wallhackio Is he doing a dual-boot or is he willing to overwrite all the Windows stuff on his HDD and has good backups?
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio dual boot
@aescling @wallhackio You did instruct him how to shrink the Windows partitions and where to then install the Linux, right? Don't want him to lose all his data...
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio having done that befur i instead suggested to him to just install onto a sepurrate hard drive altogether—windows makes successfully shrinking the NTFS partition it was installed into very, very difficult
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio it might but he’s just using external usb drive
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio quite pawsibly
@aescling @wallhackio I've never had good experiences with USB flash storage... (Unless you mean external HDD connected by USB? That's OK, but also rather slow... I guess he can dd
his Linux installation over to a real HDD if he acquries a second HDD?)
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio yeah not a flash drive, an external USB drive. i furgot to consider this would be at least a little slow tbh lol
@aescling @wallhackio Won't that be extremely slow?
