My recommendation would be to have Linux on the 500gb drive and then install windows directly on the other drive without partitioning. I wouldn't install Linux on a partition as Windows likes to mess with the bootloader but if Linux is on it's own drive you can always boot it from EFI without issues.
Fuck Empress, however she's right on this specific matter.
Easy actually. I'm on arch (Hyprland) right now, so no longer EOS but it's been refreshing. I'd recommend EOS as a base for any arch install, better than "arch installer" by a long shot. If you have dedicated storage I'd recommend using it and booting to the respective system through EFI rather than relying on software bootloader (windows likes to break it). I am running arch on a dedicated SSD and it's been smooth so far.
I've tried pretty much all the FOSS Lemmy apps I could get my hands on but the experience Sync provides is far superior. I'm an ex Boost user and since I couldn't find Boost for Lemmy I naturally gravitated towards Sync and I'm not looking back.
I felt the Adobe part. I bought Photoshop CS2 back in the day then sadly lost the license key a few years later. I never felt bad for pirating the latest version.
Another example of ethical piracy would be when offline games force you to be online all the time. Minecraft forces me to be online to play through the official launcher. Since I also play with mods that are still a few versions behind, I downloaded a cracked launcher so I can play even when I don't have internet access.
Congrats on finally using a real OS! Arch is fantastic and teaches you a lot of skills down the road.
Thank you, I will read it
I have to log in to xfce for the profile to take effect. I set Nvidia settings to start at login, even though the process does start on Wayland it doesn't apply anything until I enter xfce, then I can exit it and start my Hyprland session
Enabling G-Sync and increasing digital vibrance on my second monitor. Everytime I need to increase the vibrance on my second monitor I have to first boot into xfce, open nvidia settings until the profile loads then log out and then log into hyprland. It's very annoying.
btrfs snapshots
I had a snapshot with Timeshift but did not revert back any changes made to the theming I was working on, so I distro hopped.
Depends on the distro, something like EOS is basically Arch with fancy pants on.
I already have another guitar for different tunings but I really like the Cabronita-like because it was a gift and I want to use it for the genres I play. A pickup swap sound good and it'll get me to play it more
