He looks familiar but I just can put his name to a face

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

Noble Knight Adventures. I think his name is William papillon?

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

William Papadin. Anyway, as long as I'm looking up his channel to share it, here's my other favorite video of his.

William ~~Paladin~~ Papadin on YouTube.

Edit: autocorrect strikes again.

Closer than I was, friend!

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 58 points 2 months ago

Man, I had stuff to do today. Now I'm just going to end up watching this over and over for 7 hours.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 months ago

Finally some joy in this world. Thanks.

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 months ago

Thanks, I love it

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Greatest video ever

Recovered a broken Kubuntu install I tried switching to that got broken on a missconfig'd update, half broken Linux install and it was still better and more featured than my W11... I am hopeful that I can finally make the switch permanent

[-] Blemgo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I recommend making your /home a separate partition. It makes switching distros easier and also allows you to not encrypt your installation and only your own files, saving you from the headache in the case LUKS doesn't work properly anymore.

[-] TingoTenga@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

How much storage space do you allocate for the OS?

[-] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not OC - I read a recommendation of 20GB on reddit, only to get to the limit very fast and repartition. From my experience, 40GB is the magic number.

[-] Blemgo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Honestly, I'd argue it depends on the use case. A lightweight distro meant for basic tasks will never consume as much as a gaming one. Factoring in that your snapshots will naturally grow over time (and thus disk space) will mean that repartitioning, and getting bigger hard drives, is always a thing.

I'd still just trust the general installation guide, if it offers automatic partition allocation. Just only do partitions for /boot, / and /home, I've never found much use for /var /log and such as a separate partition, at least as a home user.

And when in doubt: use LVM with ext4 for dynamic partitions. BTRFS has a similar feature, but it's still experimental, and thus potentially unstable.

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I allocated 75gb on my 1tb drive to Fedora and most of the rest (~900gb) to my /home. After over 2 years and a few upgrades (Workstation 37-42 IIRC) it’s sitting at 64.2% used.

The greybeards I learned from many moons ago liked to split /var, /bin, and /tmp from / as well as /home. I haven’t gone that far in some time though. As always YMMV.

[-] marnine@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Totally agree. I take it a step further and keep my /home on a separate encrypted M.2, and my /boot on an old 256GB SSD. That setup lets me fully encrypt root while keeping /boot accessible. I use grml-rescueboot to add ISOs to the GRUB menu and the extra space on /boot is handy.

It's been a while, but I remember encrypting just the home folder used to break SSH key auth unless the user was already logged in locally, because their .ssh/authorized_keys file wasn't available. Pre-shared keys make scp and tab completion really convenient, so that was kind of a pain.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

At what point does an encrypted /home partition or LVM Volume or Drive get decrypted? Toward the end of the OS booting? I played with an encrypted LUKS single partition setup that asked me before the OS visibly booted.

[-] Blemgo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Generally during the mounting process, which is pretty early on at the OS boot process.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I thought a bunch of config files and ~~Biden~~ hidden folders and stuff are in /home. If I switch, will I not end up with a bunch of orphaned files from (in my case) Debian just cluttering the place up? I did the separate partition thing as is so often recommended.

[-] Blemgo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's a risk. However you'll always risk having leftovers from programs, even when continuing to use an OS, simply because you might switch programs, the developer rethinks where they store the config files, etc..

In most cases these files are relatively small and won't be very noticeable in the long run. However if that still bothers you have no other choice but to cleanup your config files regardless.

Also, those config files are generally only for your own user, i.e. user-related configurations, not program-dependent ones. System configs are generally stored outside the user profiles.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the reply. I may attempt to muster up the necessary bracket to attempt it!

Thanks I couldn't tell what was edited that anime pillow threw me off

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

The waifu pillow freaking sent me. Haha.

My average dream as linux user of 8 years.

Ahhh noble knight glad to have you aboard!

[-] Skunk@jlai.lu 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Don’t worry, I’m getting my minusforum AI X1 in an hour and tonight is OpenSuse Thumbleweed (Sway WM) installation night!

I even have popcorn and sweets to pass the time during downloads and zypper installs, can’t wait 🤓

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

First I needed thigh high socks, and now an Anime pillow? What else do I need...

[-] Drekaridill@feddit.is 3 points 2 months ago

But I don't want cookies. I actively avoid them! (but I did move over to Pop!_OS)

[-] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

I spent ages trying to find this again because it makes me happy.
