there's a certain irony about how one of the old selling points about Linux is never needing to reboot to install updates
Tnow I restart or shut down more often than I ever have
Twell you can keep your PC on as long as you want. next time it boots it will actually be up to date
Tand rollbacks exist in case something breaks
Tso that's nice
SOkay what settings should I use in rufus?
KDefaults
SI got this error.
SYeah sorry for taking a pic with my phone don't have discord on my pc
Tthat's not an error. it's asking a question
SWhich one should I pick then ISO image mode?
KThe recommended, default
Tstart with the recommended one, then switch if it doesn't work
Tthis is generally applicable advice for many prompts that may come up
SWhen I get to the loader should I pick deck or desktop?
Twhich device are you installing to?
SA PC I'm switching to have a more stable experience and a console like one
Tif you want a console-like experience to where it boots into game mode, use the deck image
Tunless you have an Nvidia GPU
SI have a 6600 xt
KDeck will work on that one, just note that it will behave like a deck and boot straight to Game mode
SThat's what I want
SIs it fine to just select my windows OS drive?
CUff, the dream!
Tyes keep in mind, it will wipe everything on that drive
SWell I think I backed up everything on my OS drive that I cared about
Twhatever that Netac SSD 512GB has will be wiped. do take care to pay attention to which drive is checked
SWait what the hell it says it don't have enough space?
KYou've only selected the drive, you have to pick the reclaim space option
KThat's what deletes everything off of it
SRoot account? Yes or no?
Kno, normal account w/ admin checked
Kno root
SWhat do I put in the full name Field?
Hthe displayname you want for the account
Twhatever you feel like telling the OS your name is
Tsome people do real names. others do aliases
SAnd the username is what the OS uses for like commands?
CAt least when you reboot, everything is done, no "applying updates"... right?
T/home/USERNAMEHERE
KEh even plain (non-immutable) Fedora has the user reboot to do updates.
Tthe updates are staged while in session or during reboot, so I think the answer to your question as intended is yes
SLike this?
Tif you want to call yourself
useradd a password
CActually, @E-Waste Gamer I'll recommend you to call your username "deck"
CSome software and plugins expects your username is called deck
SAh nice catch
Tthis is going to be on their PC
SI'm using deck UI
TI do not agree with this
