yeah the underlying software we use here does not like old HDDs

stone age... maybe she won't be right

Who needs load testers when you have NVIDIA hardware

Sorry I’m more confused now lol. So I’m trying to just use one internal 2tb ssd to dual boot windows and bazzite. I want to be able to play games that I have installed internally while I’ve booted into either windows or bazzite. I want to also use windows for productivity and photo editing. In this case do I partition the drive in half essentially? If I do, where do I keep the data for the games and which os do I use to install them?

halvaOP•6/6/24, 3:30 AM

i replaced it with an xpg gammix s11 pro now
it's nice that it boots faster but like that's it xd

pretty much the same story on my laptop
i bought it in 2015, it came with an hdd
the hdd died in 2023, i replaced it with a samsung sata ssd

I am not exaggerating when I say it heats half the house in the winter

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/6/24, 3:30 AM

two different filesystems

Pez•6/6/24, 3:30 AM

drives usually either die young or live a long fulfilling life

halvaOP•6/6/24, 3:31 AM

does it boot quicker? yeah
do i really care? nah

Mmatt_schwartz I am not exaggerating when I say it heats half the house in the winter

Geechan•6/6/24, 3:31 AM

I believe it lol

Hhalva does it boot quicker? yeah do i really care? nah

Pez•6/6/24, 3:31 AM

you can shut up now

Pez•6/6/24, 3:31 AM

i had to sit there and watch my dad wait fifteen minutes for his windows PC to boot

Pez•6/6/24, 3:31 AM

fifteen whole god damn minutes

Pez•6/6/24, 3:32 AM

you give an inch and they take a mile ya hear me

Ttryhardsoccermomswag two different filesystems

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 3:32 AM

Right but I’ve heard people talking about making a shared btrfs partition so that they can access their games and files either in bazzite or windows. I guess I’m confused on how that works because other people have recommended I only use 2 partitions on the drive but it sounds like the original advice requires 3 partitions? Or am I just not understanding

Ddiazdiaz Sorry I’m more confused now lol. So I’m trying to just use one internal 2tb ssd ...

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:32 AM

You'd need another, shared drive

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:33 AM

You cant add another steam install as a drive

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:33 AM

You'd need a third partition, for any games you'd use between the two

Ddiazdiaz Right but I’ve heard people talking about making a shared btrfs partition so tha...

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/6/24, 3:33 AM

oh the community experimental btrfs driver for windows

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:33 AM

Or another drive, even a hard drive could suffice

PPez you can shut up now

Pez•6/6/24, 3:33 AM

this is like when you abuse the "Q" word except now your pc is going to boot really slow and you wished it upon yourself

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 3:33 AM

Ok so I’d have my 2tb drive formatted as 3 partitions. One for windows 11, one for bazzite, one for shared games?

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

Sure, make it btrfs

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

i wonder how well that actually works on windows

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

it used to have major issues but that was years ago

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

Ahhh gotcha ok so then for what I want to do it’s actually theoretically better to do the 3 partitions then

Pez•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

it seems usable enough now

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

Its pretty good ngl

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

thats good to hear actually

Pez•6/6/24, 3:34 AM

if you want a bad experience on windows try using any of the FUSE drivers

Pez•6/6/24, 3:35 AM

fuse-sshfs is the worst thing you can install on a windows machine

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 3:35 AM

Can I store anything I want on that third partition? Like is there a benefit to me making the windows and bazzite partitions as small as possible while they still work and then just putting all my games and pictures and word docs etc on the shared btrfs partition?

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 3:36 AM

So something like 200gb windows, 100gb bazzite, 1700gb shared btrfs?

Ddiazdiaz So something like 200gb windows, 100gb bazzite, 1700gb shared btrfs?

Kyle Gospo•6/6/24, 3:36 AM

That's totally valid
