5Theres probably a meetup for will smiths
Dlmao what the hell did i just watch
5Good content
HOk, i pretty much fried my install (My talent to screw things up, not Bazzites issue). I am about to reinstall, but i am wondering the best way. for the sake of future building of Unity projects, i will keep the dual boot windows. So, i have this second partition that is Bazzite. I killed it. I am about to reinstall by using windows to nuke that partition to 'unused space' then reinstall the same way i already did.
My question is, will this safely overwrite the Grub that is in place and continue to allow the dual boot, or do i need to prep something special?

HI am looking for the Dual Boot setup guide mentioned yesterday, but am finding mostly 'Legion" stuff
5I don't have a legion but normally when you install Linux it finds other OS's already installed so it should be no different than when you first installed
5Also its a bit more reliable to boot by selecting the efi in the bios
Sno idea
Hyeah, i have no idea what legion is (since i do not have it, i did not watch the vids)
5Oh I don't know what your on
5But if the device isn't weird, you can remove partitions and reinstall as much as you want
HI am on a regular ol PC. i9, 2 nvidias and iGPU. Ok, will do, thanks
5Even better cause if push comes to shove you can get separate drives
5But I have had like 5 distros installed at the same time on a laptop. I just use the grub for whatever the last thing I installed was
Hright now, i am splitting nvme1 1tb to windows and Bazzite, while leaving nvme2 2TB as my project drive. then there are 2 other moderate size and speed SSDs and a 4TB and 12TB platter drives
Mhmm
MI'm confused
Mwhy does my desktop folder have another home folder inside of it
Mweait
Mi figured it out
MI thinkl
Hone last question before i reinstall.. When during installation, i told it to install OpenTabletDriver, it installed a containerized Arch version, instead of native. Why is that?
Ti know a dude irl named will smith
Tthere's too many
Twe are outnumbered
Pit is just generally best to avoid layering packages on the base image unless it's actually necessary
Pprobably also avoids having to build it with patches for userspace components?
Tlayering packages have consequences
HOk, thanks. That part always confuses me. many years back, when trying to move to linux, i had major issues with containerized things not communicating with other things. I assume that is not an issue with Bazzite?
Tdistrobox is magic
Pdistrobox solved all that
Pyeah
Pat least 99% of it
HExcellent! Thank you both
Pmany years back was like being here for the war
Pso you have a headstart!
Tdistrobox and brew really make the whole "package manager wars" seem like an even bigger joke
Pi still remember back in 2016 having my mind blown apart seeing doom running at 2k60fps on a potato that could barely handle windows
Pnow the OS is actually usable i can finally take advantage of this
Pi've been using fedora workstation as a hypervisor since then and i swear to god the amount of times i've had to reinstall because of some STUPID packaging anachronism
HOh, i lied. one more question.. I still cannot wirte to the .conf for nvidia-settings without root persmissions. this always seems very wrong to me.. am i missing something?
