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 )

Whow can i get to 'optimize drives'?
Wlol this linux discord turned into windows support haha
Asearch this
Wok
Wall say OK
W3 days since retrim
AWell the only other way I can think of without risking data corruption to get windows to move whatever system files that are stuck at the end of the partition is to run checkdisk in CMD like so
chkdsk.exe /B D:Wand what will that do?
Athis will kick off windows checkdisk, which will scan the disk for errors, repair them if it can, as well as move filesystem records together.
Woh ok
Agiven your have a lot of your drive filled, it may take an hour or so
Win the near future, i plan to get better SSDs with fast read/write speeds. should i wait to get those, install Bazzite on one of them, format it to run games and then clone the drive?
Aup to you.
AI'd say if checkdisk doesnt fix the ability to shrink that partition, I'd just wait on the future SSD
Wok
Wi'll run that
Acheckdisk will likely take 1-2 hours to be sure you have time to kill
Wlet's say i format those new drives before putting data on them, can i clone the data successfully even if its formatted in NTFS
Awhen you get the new drive I would do this in order:
- format the drive as NTFS
- shrink the new NTFS partition down to whatever you want to give to Bazzite, making sure not to go below the amount of stuff you need to copy over from the old drive.
- copy over your files from you current D:\ drive to the new drive.
Athen proceed to install bazzite, selecting in the Bazzite installer for it to use the Free Space that was created from the partition shrink

Wcan programs besides games run fine formatted to NTFS on linux such as nvidia app, discord, brave browser?
ABazzite, and linux in general, does not work underneath the hood at all like windows. You will not be using NTFS.
I highly encourage you to install Virtualbox and spin up a basic install of Bazzite in that first, so you can get a basic idea of how it works and how it installs without harming your own computer by accidentally choosing options.

AHey folks, qq, I"m reading a thread of something I think is happening to me, and they're saying add some things to the gamescope cli args. Where do I do that? Or, how do I verify that I did it in the right place, and it's using the new args I set?
Panyone in here running an outer virtualization host and then using bazzite in virtualization via qemu with passthrough? I'm kinda interested in re-configuring my system to something like that instead of dual boot
Palso considering proxmox 
VI ran Bazzite on proxmox for a little while, was kinda neat. I'm not an expert and it's been a while so I may be pretty bad with questions.
