Getting a second drive just for windows I think is a good approach. If you were to do so, it’s important that you remove all other drives while installing windows, otherwise the Windows installer will put its boot files into whatever existing EFI partition it finds.

Then using something like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat you should be good to go with a relatively clean setup.

To have a local account, I use Rufus to setup the usb installer in a way that it automatically creates the local account, and it can also disable the secure boot and tpm requirements from the installer if you want. Though I think rufus is a windows program only. I know there’s the “OOBE” approach for the local account, but I haven’t done that before. That could be an option too

Sections 3.3 or 3.4

I did 3.4 to disable the headset profiles cause generally it’s ass

I have had this happen to me when my monitor turns off before the night shift starts and when I come back let’s say an hour later and the night shift is not on.

Prob has something to do with the monitor being off at the switching time

A tip I saw some time ago is to do:

rm folder -rf

Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it’s usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/

Then you can delete it from the trash once you’re certain you got the right folder

It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it’s related to what I’m experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.

With Fedora’s default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don’t have this issue. Honeslty I don’t know what’s up, and from a quick search I couldn’t find people with the same issue. I’ll search again later just in case

One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it’s kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly

From like a week ago:

https://www.telecomstechnews.com/news/2024/may/03/att-turbo-charge-raises-net-neutrality-concerns/

My favorite part is how virtual desktops and switching between them works perfectly on Windows 10, and even on KDE it works well and smooth, but on Windows 11 somehow they made it slower and glitchy. It was probably better when it didn’t even have an animation when switching.

Essentially since I switched to AMD almost a year ago, and I switched so I could use wayland with freesync lol

I hadn’t either until the Steam autumn sale 2023, I wanted Dirt Rally 2 GOTY edition because it includes all the DLC, but I couldn’t buy it because I already own the base game…

Had this issue not long ago, check out this comment:

That fixed it for me

Not yet but I will check it out, thanks!

Just between yesterday and today I was struggling with this, to get DoH or DoT working, but Network Manager would override /etc/resolv.conf. At least I figured out how to stop NM from modifying the DNS.

I tried my putting my dns settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf, as suggested by Nextdns setup page, but that didn’t seem to work, at least on Tumbleweed. On my Debian laptop running as a headless server, the /etc/systemd/resolv.conf does work.

I’m currently with Stubby, and it’s working at least, but I would’ve liked to figure out the systemd-resolved way on Tumbleweed.

I would say option 3.

I can share my current setup in case you’re interested.

I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:

/ -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think

/home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive

/boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive

Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.

So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.

Personally, I don’t see it coming anytime soon. I played genshin on linux for maybe over a year, and with the fps unlocker for maybe almost 2 years, on both windows and linux, and have never been banned.

I stopped playing on version a few months ago though.

Maybe the one suggested in this thread might work for you?

I don’t get ads like this, but I have Win 11 Pro and used Sophia Script to disable as much nonsense as I can.

Here are some options if you’re interested: https://ripped.guide/Utilities/Debloating/

How much was it before?

I started using it yesterday and so far I’m liking it

You can install windows to a selected Unallocated Space and it will create its partitions, but if it detects an EFI partition, even in a different drive, it uses that for windows.

Yes, in the Useful Tips section. Lots of other cool notes there:

Have fun!
