1. OneDrive mirroring

Stop telling me that I am out of storage, I did not ask you to put my files there.

  1. Nvidia Linux drivers

A 2 month old driver from a desktop 3070 failed to detect a laptop 3050, and I had to chroot to remove the offending driver, buuuut

  1. Rescue USB

So it turns out the default Tumbleweed ISO is NOT a live image. Recue didn’t work nor did usb boot until I realised. Burned LMDE onto the usb key, and I was able to get back up and running relatively quickly.

    My laptop runs Linux, but my desktop runs windows because of inertia.

    When I built it, I installed windows on a 128GB SSD and put in a 2TB HDD for everything else. I thought at the time this was a fairly reasonable config since SSDs were still very expensive for any reasonable amount of capacity. I have since added more drives but windows is still installed on the small SSD.

    Windows really does not know how to handle a small C drive. It fills up the appdata folder with garbage from every program I install, garbage that should in any reasonable world be kept in those programs’ own folders on other drives where I actually told them to install, and appdata cannot be moved off C to another drive. Then windows complains about not having enough space on my computer despite terabytes of free space on other drives.

    The only upside of this nonsense is that windows update also relies on free space on C being available and is therefore broken and unable to forcibly update me to newer, worse versions of windows.

    I could install windows to a bigger drive but if I’m reinstalling an OS I’m gonna install a better OS and then I’m back to inertia.

      I had this same problem, and fixed it by cloning my C drive onto a larger drive. It surprisingly worked fine, tho I had to use a tool take make ntfs aware of the larger partition.
