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
Phttps://astrada.github.io/google-drive-ocamlfuse/ just an example
Pthe other route for backups
Pand what i do personally,
PWith Wasabi, you pay only for what you store. Enjoy the freedom to access your data whenever you want, without fees for egress or API requests.
Pand mount it with s3fs etc.
DHmm well realistically if I don’t plan to use bazzite to access those documents, then maybe I can do like a big windows partition which includes the important files (maybe 700gb-1tb) , 100gb for bazzite and 1tb-1.2tb for shared games
Pthat would be safer for those important files if they just stay on windows' NTFS partition
DOk awesome and then that still leaves my micosd card slot open for more games, temporary files or whatever else
Pwords literally unheard of from a linux user
Pbut for important stuff i wouldn't trust WinBTRFS
DI could theoretically also format that microsd with btrfs and make that into a second game partition right?
Pso yeahhhhh
Pi wouldn't actually suggest using btrfs on a microsd tbh
DOh ok gotcha so ntfs for the microsd too then
Jrandom q: did the bar tie web installer get finished? It's been a while since I did an install and I want to update the installer video when it goes live
KIs this a 7800XT problem, or is it maby related to his specific setup?
Poh
Pright
Pif you wanna share them like that, yeah btrfs would be the best option
