CPretty much, yeah
Tyeah but im afraid whatever i say might cause other issues
SAnd what's that?
Ti know this is a really difficult part and this would happen on any other linux OS
Tmessing with anything in kde partition manager
Tcan cause an unbootable system
Tand like other things
Tunless chaiqi knows 
ik they've helped me before with partitions and dual booting. i never really have messed around these disk GUIs that much tbh

Pjust don't bank on windows behaving with
winbtrfs in any reliable waySI don't have windows installed anymore
Pthis is just to get you out of the "all my data is on an ntfs drive and i have no space"
Cthe solution to this problem is a $20 1TB+ external drive which you should have for backups anyway
SYou don't have to be condescending man.
Pidk i've never seen ntfs2btrfs go wrong outside of a user going ctrl+c in the middle of it and then going "why is my data fucked"
SWhat's Ctrl C?
CThat was not condescending. That is the solution, and I was cordially recommending a cheap, simple solution as I would do so for a friend or family member without judgment
SI apologize tone on the Internet is hard to guide it came off as condescending to me.
SSo if use this will it keep my data intact or no?
CProbably
Pin my repeated use of it a year ago, yeah, i doubt you'll run into any hiccups. just don't interrupt it or lose power.
Pthen you're up shit creek and you ate the paddle.
CIf probably is good enough, go for it - computers are fallible so backups and checksums are kinda the only ways to really reliably keep data intact
SWait how do I compile something?
CCompile what?
SThis
CPreferably, you don't; it looks like there's an installable .rpm, although it takes following more than one link to get to...
Sim pretty sure the whole point of all of this is to not have to do this stuff as a regular user
Sjust install stuff graphically through flatpak
Sor with rpm ostree
CI really would recommend a backup drive just in case. Reformatting a drive in-place means juggling and replacing several million pointers with a totally different organizational system and hoping several trillion numbers end up in the right places without any mishaps
SMan I only wanted to make it so these drives auto mounted and I didn't need to put in a password
CI know the feeling all too well 
SAnd I think I fucking solved it
SIt's auto mounting now.
CThere are two ways to mount an ntfs drive on linux, but both of them can explode, and ntfs is, more or less, directly Windows-based
SI quite literally just put my drives inside the downloads folder and that worked
Co.0
SI don't know how
SBut it's working
CMounting, or auto-mounting?
SBoth
SI restarted the PC and didn't ask for my passwords
C
SIt's a bit awkward tho but I have access to my drives now again
SIs there a like a script to mass import preinstalled games?
CSort of
CSteam?
