[08:41:07] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Windows 10 is even more spooky than my former 8.1.

[08:41:55] mapbot/IRC-nERDs How do you safely delete Windows, though? Is just erasing the partition enough?

[08:42:44] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Uefi?

[08:43:11] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Yeah, they are there. They're just deleted or there are tools for safe ramoval?

[08:44:09] mapbot/IRC-nERDs So they're basically as good as deleted anyway.

[08:45:51] mapbot/IRC-nERDs It's unlikely I'll use it, but wonder if it matters if it's SSD or HDD.

[08:49:14] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Does that really matter though? It's just regular Windows.

[08:50:11] mapbot/IRC-nERDs No, just to expand the Linux partition.

[08:54:24] mapbot/IRC-nERDs There's also a 20Gb partition at the end. It's NTFS, so guess also Windows.

[08:54:51] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Yes, it is.

[08:55:34] mapbot/IRC-nERDs When I saw it, I was surprised how huge it is, Linux took much less on a USB.

[08:56:29] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Everything seems bloatware now. Guess sooner or later GUI would seem bloatware as well.

[08:57:39] mapbot/IRC-nERDs One of VMs I tried turned out to not have GUI at all.

[08:58:24] mapbot/IRC-nERDs It it easier for a noob than Debian? I just finished setting it up...

[08:58:49] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I've literally started dualbooting a few days ago.

[08:59:06] mapbot/IRC-nERDs ...so guess unsuitable for a normie.

[08:59:24] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Windows 8.1/Debian 11.

[08:59:47] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Seems easy to understand.

[09:00:27] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Gentoo, that's the reason I quit. Wanted it for so long!

[09:02:33] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I was told that Linux might be "a bit hard at first", but yet I haven't had any issues. Everything seems fun.

[09:03:52] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Haven't even heard of it.

[09:07:34] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Does any of those have a big community reviewing everything?

[09:10:33] mapbot/IRC-nERDs And what would happen if you erase the Windows' partition while in an installed OS? Not like it's mounted.

[09:11:25] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I guess. You just said it should be booted from USB.

[09:12:19] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Okay, thanks for warning.

[09:12:30] mapbot/IRC-nERDs It is ext4.

[09:13:22] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Okay, so I can erase the Windows, them boot a live version and resize the partition from there.

[09:15:19] mapbot/IRC-nERDs And same for "recovery" 20 gb partition?

[09:16:07] mapbot/IRC-nERDs No reinstalling, only VM.

[09:17:14] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Okay, I'll double-check the steps online later.

[09:17:39] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I will NOT be running it often, just in case.

[09:17:59] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Can Windows work with KVM?

[09:19:32] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I just failed to install it, because the repository just wouldn't add(

[09:19:44] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I just thought I'll figure t out later.

[09:19:55] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Yes, qemu - that's what's installed.

[09:20:15] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Isnt' it paid?

[09:21:27] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Proprietary, eww

[09:22:30] mapbot/IRC-nERDs linuxuser, it just didn't add the repository.

[09:22:59] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I know it's something you're supposed to learn sooner or later, but this one didn't work out.

[09:23:12] mapbot/IRC-nERDs linuxuser, the instructions were for that.

[09:24:35] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Oh, I remember. I did that a year ago on a different machine. Had some trouble (something with Linux kernel, don't remember exactly), and didn't proceed.

[09:25:09] mapbot/IRC-nERDs But I still have to learn to install properly, from the command line...

[09:26:31] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Oh, okay. But what about adding anything other than the Debian's repository? Do normal users just download from site?

[09:27:12] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Exactly what I'm talking about.

[09:28:49] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I can't even complete my university programming tasks, let alone audit complex code.

[09:36:05] mapbot/IRC-nERDs I was told to not use this as an "insult", I had such people as friends(

[13:29:00] mapbot/IRC-nERDs !bang

[19:52:14] mapbot/IRC-nERDs !bang

[20:16:57] mapbot/IRC-nERDs Poul, is it someone's fart?
