  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

  • I feel like I have done that too, but long time ago. I always got confused with dual booting. I get weird trying to calculate how much to space to give each partition.

    Making partitions by hand is a pain though.

  • What is kind of funny is that my computer has the SSD for system and home, and I only ever used the storage to copy over files from my home. I also have a little 1TB SSD That I could have used as an offline backup... but didn't do that. I had the tools, just never thought to do it. I will look into a NAS, that would be nifty. Can't bork that with a new install.

  • Nice! I need to learn recovery methods. I am so used to scorch earthing an install when it goes wrong, which is not useful.

  • Honestly a thesis is way higher stakes and value. Yeah, imagine thinking there was an emergency only to find out your roommate will need to spend the rest of the semester using their imagination.

  • I might need to look into building a storage server of some kind. That is super cool.

  • Best lesser-known distribution/DE for low-end machines?

  • Love Antix! It is like the grandfather to MX Linux, but also the little baby?

  • Yes! I am becoming more careful. I am definitely getting deeper in my knowledge of programs and linux. The stuff to learn is immense. But, it makes my life so much better.

  • Oh, am I talking to myself? Hah.

    Yeah, I wish I had all the stuff I torrented in high school. Lost treasure.

  • Something I am learning is that an install of a distro can last as long as you want it to.

    Curiosity leads us to mistakes, but more often to things much cooler than what we knew before!

    A computer is like a second home the more I think about it.

    I am glad you learned a lot from those experiences!

  • I may or may not have a OneDrive account that I was paying 2 bucks for but cancelled when it charged full price. I may actually have a lot of the important stuff on there!

    Alas, none of the newer stuff like my upated password manager key and anything else after I ended my brief return to Windows.

    Yeah, cloud storage is not the monster after all.

  • Oof. I mean... yes. Oof.

  • I think I have done that a couple of times intentionally. Seems like one of those cognitive dangers that is harmful because you know it.

  • Wow. If I could teleport you some cake I would invite you to take it. That is a lot. I cannot imagine how long it took to redownload.

  • Thank you! This is just my way of laughing at the situation. I am definitely learning some new skills like data recovery and critical thinking.

  • Thank you for your concern, hah!

    Yeah, I admit the mistake happened long before last night.

  • That is haunting.

    I tend to be pretty cavalier with my data, because only recently have I started amassing anything of value (starting to be the adult I needed to be 10 years ago).

    Yes... I have some storage shopping to do.

    It was waaay past midnight when I made my mistake. I should have been sleeping at least 3 hours before.
