Or do like me and install to a 200gb partition, then carve down the window partition to create a third partition to keep new files, repeat untill you have 5 partitions on your drive. After that, find that you haven't touched windows in forever and wipe it now that everything is spread between an unethical amount of partitions.
At least I can give them funny names
I'd suggest the hands on approach personally. It may take some time to get up though.
You can install a distro onto a USB stick and boot from it to play around and see if you like it.
Here's a quick tutorial:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/preparing-boot-media/
And separately the distro I'd reccomemd using:
https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/
After you create the live CD you should be able to keep it plugged in and boot to using this method from howtogeek:
https://www.howtogeek.com/129815/beginner-geek-how-to-change-the-boot-order-in-your-computers-bios/
To be clear if you stop there Linux will not installed, you won't lose any data, and you can just unplug the USB stick to allow windows to boot up when you restart.
One note, sinceit's installed to a USB stick it'll be a bit slower than if you installed it on your PC. Still though, it'll be the same idea.
Here's a full guide on how to install it:
Thank you! I have read others too. Just got finished the original mistborn trilogy but I started out with Tress of the Emerald Sea a while back from a friends recommendation. Took a few chapters but Tress is likely to be one of my favorite books. Still gotta re-read to properly place it though.
I know I'm late to the party but just started WarBreaker by Brandon Sanderson. Really liking the book so far.
Oh shit though you're reading amulet? I absolutely loved that series as teenager. Got all the books but in the wrong order. Still love the art and remember it fondly.
Absolutely. Which is why I like medium sized series of books that way the next book is usually clear, but I don't have the secondary issue of never feeling like I'm "done" you get with long series.
Start looking when you get to the last book and by the time you're through you can hop right in
Thank you, unless someone else gives be reason not to I think I'm going to take your suggestion. Next will be warbreaker, then the way of kings.
Apologies for the ranty nature. I read alot of books sure but my writting is trash
I started reading Sanderson with tress of the emerald sea. It was fantastic and Sandersons style was very catching to me. Recently, I made the decision to read more of his work. Sanderson suggested on his site an order and I started by his suggestion with Mistborn. Absolutely loving it still very catching but, in my opinion, it's much weaker than tress a book he made much later. Just going into the last of the 3 in the apparent first run so I'll be done in about 5 days. Thus, I'm looking for my next few books to read.
My major worry is that it just won't catch with me. If I start a book that's reasonably good but doesn't pull me back in I find myself failing to read it or anything else for quite some time. I essentially took a 6 month reading hiatus when I read Lessons in birdwatching a good, though very flawed, book. I'd do 20-50 pages a month with that book. Before I was reading daily for a few years, and after I've been doing the same, but sometimes I just find a book I won't give up and can't find myself excited to read.
He states that his suggestion to start with mistborn comes from the fact that he finds elantris to be weaker. With this in mind I'd like to know if it'd be worth it to skip the book, read the wiki or some synopsis, and move on to his more recent work. With nearly 600 pages that book would take 3-6 days of reading depending on how well it catches.
Is this sacrilege? Is the writing a serious downgrade for somebody who liked very much liked mistborn though thought it weak at times?
The authors great though. The guys got me planning to read what I asssume is magi-punk from the cover art for mistborn 4 which is not something I'd do normally
These bad boys were about to go to "charity" or something like that. Almost carried them there myself. Saw it in all its glory and saved my boys.
I didn't remember how many Barbie pogs I had but now they'll never leave me again.
That's understandable. Sorry if I came off sour btw. I'm quite tired. You seem chill
No, the SA80. I'm very familiar with the beautiful L96A1.
Looks like I was wrong though and the SA80 is supposed to be a service rifle. Look man, I'm tired, allow me some stupidity
You're right about our leaders but partially wrong about it being too late. There will be massive destruction and horrible outcomes but damage can still be decreased. With massive effort fewer dead, fewer impovrished, easier to reverse. This is true at each point.
Horrifyingly though our leaders will do nothing while pretending when it gets bad there was nothing they could have done at this point. That it's always been futile.
You may think me saying humanity can still do good work to lower damage is optimism but as a pessimist I understand that nothing will likely be done. Especially when most think it's already too late to do anything.
Wait, I know I'm late to the party, but is that a bullpup sniper rifle?
Why.
I can't see how a sniper rifle benefits from any of the positives of a bull-pup save for maybe the shorter profile being easier to store. Something a folding stalk would do just as well.
Why?
Not at all familiar with the gun. Please tell me it's a regular rifle intented for a designated marksmen and not a real sniper rifle. I see the optic which pushes me in that direction
Here's a few I could suggest
Cap Chronicles - tg.blk
Love Being Used - tg.blk
Dora - Tierra Whack
Orion's Belt - Kitty ray
One life, might live - Little Simz
Thank you for posting it by the way. This is both good, and important news
Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn't as good, I'd argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place
Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it's very good on its own
It's a VPS provider. They're a cloud provider and sell virtual servers. These are-like a home for websites andinteenet services
The real reason was a boring one and seemingly unrelated to that file. I just ran out of disk space. Still though, that’s not exactly a helpful error is it
Yeah I'm not paying attention to that election shit till tomorrow. If I'm tempted I'll remember I have to stir my chilli.
I'd love to know any tips or suggestions you all have for homemade "no way in hell I'm watching that shit right now" chilli.
Gonna slowly simmer for 4 hours stirring every 5 minutes. Adding cocoa to the mix as I've heard it helps
We are officially finished with The Book. Now onto something that matters.
Today is an exploratory session to explore the lemmy codebase, see how well it's documented, and make targets for contribution.
If anyone's following along this week is dedicated to familiarizing ourselves with the codebase. Pull it down, set up our dev environment, run the code. After that pick a directory and attempt to explain a few functions to a duck. If a duck is not present find a google search result for the term "duck" will suffice.
As always, a stream will be available at the following link of myself doing this for around 2 hours starting one hour after this post is made. https://www.twitch.tv/deerfromsmoke
Day 6!
You’re free to create a separate post for your own stuff if you wish, or you can post it as a comment below. I will corral any individual posts and post them here as a comment by Day 7. Rinse and repeat.
Rules:
- Please remember to be kind. All skill levels are welcome here.
- AI art is not allowed.
- Submissions must be based on the daily prompt, but either traditional or digital mediums are welcome.
Thank you in advance, and let’s have fun! :)

Yeah I didn't have much time today.
Also, I'm sorry for the content
Went a bit better than I thought and I had fun. Very excited for the rest of this month.
Wait, backpacks have two straps. Dangit

This is a place to share your Inktober pieces and to discuss the the prompt, event, or anything related to inking. See this post for more information:
https://sh.itjust.works/post/25621677
Strictly positive as the point is to force ourselves to do this daily with the hope of improving our skills through repetition. Constructive criticism welcome if you can phrase if positively.
Discussion post is live with the intent of talking about how this should be run with my current goals. Feel free to join up and hope into the discussion.

Why this community?
In 8 days inktober starts. I'd like to have a place were people can see others results and discuss their experience daily. After failing to find a community for this event I've created one myself. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on how this should run though.
What is inktober?
Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there’s a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking. You may also dedicate yourself to a half marathon style Inktober by inking every second day.
To be discussed:
My suggestion is that we have a daily round up thread where yesterdays art is collected in one place and, if wanted, vote on our favorite piece to be included at the end of the month in a "community favorites" meta post.
Any suggestion on how this should be run, anything we can do to make this more fun, or something not listed would be greatly appreciated.
Want to help the community?
I'll admit, I don't have the most time. I'd heavily appreciate it if some of you would be willing to become mods so you can make the daily roundup post, pin it, unpin yesterdays, and update a list of these posts. Of course, enforcing the rules and cleaning up spam would also be kind but I understand we all have time issues
Saw this a bit ago but didn't think to post about it
To be clear, this doesn't mean coreboot is available now and what is working for devs includes quite a few binary blobs. It's still progress though and good to see.
It's been 5 months but you did ask me to inform you of anything happening @jackpot@lemmy.ml

Created a while ago from a DnD session where the PC's were stalking a leonin man meeting some friends in a shifty alley, beside a bar using krita along with it's perspective tools. Using Muses brush pack, I'll send a link if requested. Very nice pencil and charcoal brushes.
Streamed Code Together
A streamed reading club focused on rust's The Book and becoming reasonably good rust developers through community collaboration. The end goal is to read the lemmy codebase and contribute to the platform we all love. This stream will serve as a club meeting where we read some of the content together, discuss previous topics, and write some code.
Anybody's welcome, whether you want to continue once we get to the code base or not. If you're completely new to rust this is a great place to start and if you already know the language we'd love to have you all the more. At the very least it's a good networking opportunity but you'll likely learn more than you thought.
Post Stream
After the stream, a discussion post will be made to This Community stating what we've gone over and what we're planing to read/code/do before the next stream. This will act as a place to talk about what you've learned, what issues you're having, how your post-stream learning is going, and to help your fellow lemmings. I strongly encourage posting a comment even if everything you've stated has already been said.
Timing
We will meet weekly at 6:30pm EST (New York Time) on Tuesday with a maximum length of two hours.
Hosting
For now, the host will be myself however if you're interested in hosting or co-hosting yourself please feel free to message me about this especially if you can stream at a time where people in a European or Asian timezone can join in.
Missed the stream?
A video will be available on youtube so you can watch at a later point and a discussion post will be posted here weekly which states what we've gone over and what we're going to do before the next stream.
Links
The weekly stream will be hosted on twitch with that site being our main chatroom. Vods will be available on Youtube after the stream along with a mildly edited version for those who couldn't join in but still want to keep up
