It’s ugly, but useful.

(unlike me, I am ugly and useless /s)

Is it biological exploitation for food companies to monopolize on our taste buds?

Yes. Thats the only reason why there is so much sugar in everything. Which is rather unhealthy, but we keep eating it because sugar makes us want it.

My professional computer is given by my company, I don’t have to buy anything for it. I don’t even think IT would allow me to run Linux on it 😅.

For my personal computer I make the choices.

I get a kick from not buying Nvidia

Well, I hate human faces on youtube video thumbnails.

I want to see a preview of the content instead of being biologically exploited into clicking on it.

For anyone who feels the same way: https://dearrow.ajay.app/

Nobody mentioned it yet, but my current no hassle solution is to:

just physically move the nvme from one computer to the other

Stop blaming it on some nonexistent cultural phenomenon.

People are capable of recognizing (good or bad) quality aspects of the software they use and the videos they get recommended to watch. And they are free to point out the bad ones as well as the good ones.

Spoiler: it will not change his life

Since the day secure boot became the standard on motherboards, about once every quarter a new research paper popped up, describing a new way to hack or bypass it …

nix has home manager for that, but even then, plasma configs are a huge mess there.

thanks for the reply and your hard work :)

Does anybody know if configurations are also declarative?

Basically I want some easy way to spin up something arch linux based with my KDE Plasma settings, pacman hooks, grub configurations etc.

BTRFS already has a rescue command

Deleting partitions shouldn’t mess up anything, unless the partition was still in use by something else.

So if you have a disk that is just used for Nobora, deleting all the disks partitions will not mess up anything. If you have multiboot from the same disk then yes, you have to be a bit careful to not mess up whatever you want to not delete.

But as I said this is just to make extra sure. First try just installing Bazzite over Nobora, it should probably delete everything. If not, then you can delete partitions and reinstall again.

Nobody actually answered your question so far, so here I go:

You can just install it over the other.

Make sure in the installer you have to tell it to use the whole drive where you want to install it to.

Some distros try to be smart and keep the /boot and /home directories, but then the installer has a checkbox to keep or delete it.

If you want to be extra sure, boot into the Bazzite USB stick. Then before installing, fire up the partition manager (there should be one, but idk what it is called) and just delete all partitions on the disk where you had Nobora installed on before.

Yeah, just use firefox.

sounds like userscripting with extra steps

Also, here is another cool project that mounts your browser tabs as a filestructure https://github.com/osnr/TabFS

use btrfs snapshots then

Tell us what commands you ran exactly and what the terminal responded.

(Do this in general when asking for Linux help btw. that makes it a bit easier to give a useful reply straight away.)

Sounds like you gave up before even looking into it…

What should I do?

Install Windows on his laptop, or better yet let him do it and sit besides him for guidance, so that he can learn to reinstall in case something breaks badly.

It’s nice to showcase your favourite OS and make people curious but don’t abuse your friends with your Linux preference by forcing it onto them.

(Also, if you fix everything for them all the time, how will they learn?)
