Pjust don't bank on windows behaving with
winbtrfs in any reliable way
SI 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?
SNot like that I have a bunch of like itch.io titles I want to import to like Lutris to play
CThen I have no idea, unfortunately
Kthere's no script, you can add them individually
Kor try the itch.io launcher flatpak, it's in Discover
SAlso how do I make exes work inside Linux cause I get a sort of proton error when I try to launch em
Klutris
SI'm trying but I can't seem to figure it out
GCould also try out Bottles @120% linux noob. Find it in Discover (the app store), install, and then in Bottles, make a gaming prefix. Then load your exes of your choice in there
SHow badly would performance be degraded just wondering?
Sit should run in anything like it would be in proton
