BEspecially on windows
Mokay who wants to take bets on me tripping a circuit breaker by trying to run a 4090, my monster 9lb laptop with a 7900 and two monitors from one room
Phmmmm
Pnah

yeah the underlying software we use here does not like old HDDsPstone age... maybe she won't be right
GWho needs load testers when you have NVIDIA hardware
Podds are it was going to die anyway
DSorry 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?
Hi 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

MI am not exaggerating when I say it heats half the house in the winter
Ttwo different filesystems
Pdrives usually either die young or live a long fulfilling life
Hdoes it boot quicker? yeah
do i really care? nah
do i really care? nah
GI believe it lol
Pyou can shut up now
Pi had to sit there and watch my dad wait fifteen minutes for his windows PC to boot
Pfifteen whole god damn minutes
Pyou give an inch and they take a mile ya hear me
DRight 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
BYou'd need another, shared drive
BYou cant add another steam install as a drive
BYou'd need a third partition, for any games you'd use between the two
Toh the community experimental btrfs driver for windows
BOr another drive, even a hard drive could suffice
Pthis is like when you abuse the "Q" word except now your pc is going to boot really slow and you wished it upon yourself
DOk so I’d have my 2tb drive formatted as 3 partitions. One for windows 11, one for bazzite, one for shared games?
BSure, make it btrfs
Ti wonder how well that actually works on windows
Tit used to have major issues but that was years ago
DAhhh gotcha ok so then for what I want to do it’s actually theoretically better to do the 3 partitions then
Pit seems usable enough now
BIts pretty good ngl
Tthats good to hear actually 
Pif you want a bad experience on windows try using any of the FUSE drivers
Pfuse-sshfs is the worst thing you can install on a windows machine
DCan 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?
DSo something like 200gb windows, 100gb bazzite, 1700gb shared btrfs?
KThat's totally valid
Pyeah do what you please with it BUT keep in mind it might be less reliable if you're loading it under windows
KYes I agree, keep it to games and maybe have a extra partition for your important files
Pi would suggest just using a network share or something to store your other documents
DOh interesting ok
