I used Linux for a good while 20 something years ago. Mostly for recording music and some gaming (you can say what you want, cube/sauerbraten/openarena/… I had a great time that I look back to fondly).

Then got back on windows around vista all the way to w11 7/8/10 all “ok” OS experiences imo.

11… man, this thing frustrates me so much. Everything you try to do is like getting gaslighted. Updates/reboots whenever it feels like, regardless of what you have going on. (My setup requires a few keystrokes at boot, if not the fan goes nuts)

Coming back to Linux feels like a breath of fresh air. Especially now that installing/using it has become a breeze compared to back then. It does what you ask. Why doesn’t big tech corp get that through its thick skull?

Also, my data is mine.

Well, there goes that quirk of mine XD

Every few years I get a yearning to play through Daikatana.

The entire thing.

I’ve been doing this from before the community patch.

I dunno.

As it should be.

Currently reinstalling, it’s going extremely slow and it’s at 109%. The bar isn’t even a tenth of the whole.

I’ll keep you guys updated.

Tried it, no cigar. Currently reinstalling fedora. It’s taking forever and it’s at 109% (what?).

It’s the KDE edition(should have mentioned that), which afaik doesn’t really have an automatic option. But it seems you also don’t have to set all the individual new partitions yourself. I told it to get rid of the partitions that belong to Windows (dell support/image/…) to merge it into one part that fedora would do its thing with.

It’s just the main SSD. Thx, will try when I get home!
