It's insane how we don't own absolutely anything anymore.

Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. in c/[email protected]

Yes, but I feel that's strategic to make us feel we need AI to do the work for us.

That's how I tested different distros, by running them from USB drives. I think it's time for me to actually have it installed. But yeah, as others have commented, it is a bit "dangerous" to dual-boot my only laptop I use for work.

Dual-Boot – Partitioning Question (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello hello!

I’m new to Linux and, after bingeing a fair share of videos, I’ve decided to kick things off with Linux Mint (coming from Windows 11).

Since I work 12-13 hours a day on my only laptop, I’d like to start with a dual-boot setup before fully committing to the switch.

Here’s the catch: I only have 90 GB of free space on my hard drive. Would it be unreasonable to allocate around 40 GB to Mint? I don’t need much in terms of software - my daily workflow is basically spreadsheets, Discord, and Zoom.

Appreciate any advice!
