how can i supprot bazzite and linux overall? such as posting glitches and stuff
Wdo i copy something in the discord
Mwell for linux in general, there's really only the mailing list iirc
VScreenshots if you can, if you do need to take a picture of the screen just make sure it's legible.
Wwhats the key shortcut
VIt'll probably be printscreen by default but you can change it
Wok
MWif i change PC parts, will linux recognize them (RAM, SSDs etc...)
VYup, only thing you kind of need to worry about is GPU, but even switching to or from the Nvidia image is very easy.
VLinux is a LOT more forgiving with hardware changes.
VYou could use the same SSD on 5 computers and it'd still be fine.
Wgot it
Wgoing back to the microSD, i heard that is automatically formatted. i just wanna make sure that wont happen
VIt shouldn't. You should have to manually do that.
Wand also, if i put bazzite on another microSD card, would it run better than a flash drive?
VDo not put an OS on a MicroSD card, or flash drive.
VThe installer is fine, the actual OS install is a nono.
Mehh
MI think that'd depend on what OS it is and what it's doing
AFlash drives and Micro SD cards / regular SD cards suffer from both the data saved on them being unreliable and also often very slow read and write speeds.
So you will be significantly slowing down how fast bazzite can work, as well as risking your data by running it off of either a flash drive or MicroSD card.

VOk, we're talking about Bazzite. Do not install Bazzite on an SD card.
MTempleOS is probably fine on a micro sd card
VA USB SSD is fine, I've done that. Not a typical flash drive.
Wok i understand. so i should put it on the D drive (SSD). i was worried about data loss, but Kyle assured me that won't happen so long as each OS is on a different drive
WKyle's cool
VWhat's your drive setup right now?
AAs a general reminder for any operating system, you should be backing up important files somewhere besides your own computer in case of a fire or a something going catastrophically wrong.
Wi have C (4tb) and D (2tb) drives as well as a 1tb microSD
Wlaptop btw
VPutting it on the D Drive would be best. But remember if you don't mess with paritioning the data on that drive will be erased.
Wok so i partition the D drive before installing bazzite or after?
VBefore, you can shrink the partition. I'm assuming it's formatted for Windows right now?
Wyes
VNot with Windows on it, just for use with it?
Wyes
VGive me a second, I believe there's a way to shrink NTFS drives from within Windows but I've not used it for a while
Wtake your time
Aprobably easiest is to pre-emptively shrink the partition in windows DiskManager
VBeat me to it, but yeah this lol
VHow much data are you using on that drive?
Wok i tried this but ran into an issue. Although i have 300gb of free space on D drive, it says i can only shrink volume to 630mb
AYou'll probably need to defrag it then
Wi did
Awhat is this windows showing?
Wlemme check
Wtotal size before shrink in mb: 2,097,150
size of available shrink space in mb: 630
total size after shrink in mb: 2,096,520
size of available shrink space in mb: 630
total size after shrink in mb: 2,096,520
VCan you not increase the thing in the middle? Is there any message?
Wthe max is 630mb
Awhat does drive optimization show?
(Also screenshots can be done via WindowsKey + Shift+s )
(Also screenshots can be done via WindowsKey + Shift+s )
Whow can i get to 'optimize drives'?
