  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    Thank you for the insight, that is actually useful information for me. I currently have a 4tb nvme with a small (250gb) C drive and the rest as an E drive (Program installs and Games) for Windows, the same general setup with a second 4tb nvme for Linux, and a 3rd separate SATA SSD that acts as my "home" drive with Documents/Pictures/Downloads /etc. I planned and sharing that third drive between Windows and Linux so I don't require duplicating data.

    A home server/NAS is also in the works, and I'll be looking into Samba. It's just been a bit enlightening finding out all the unicorns and rainbows on the Linux side of the fence are equines of indeterminate parentage with paper cones glued to their foreheads and RGB light strips soldered together with a "trust me" sticker on them.

    Microsoft is still a ghetto, and Apple is a WASP country club where the HOA president lives next door and is "retired". Computers are both at an all-time high for choice and in some of the worst states it's been in.

    you should definitely be able to do this, i've done it before and even played gtav off of it, i'm not sure if it has significant performance penalties, it might slow down game loading, or cause micro stuttering, weird stuff like that, but it will definitely work, it's just something you should use in the meantime while you work towards moving away from it in the future.

    A home server/NAS is also in the works, and I’ll be looking into Samba.

    there are other options, but im pretty sure every other option is based on the SMB protocol in some way, samba is just the most barebones way of doing it, if you like tinkering and just want a file sharing server on your local network, it'll work great, just be sure to enable that weird renaming flag that allows you to translate the character set, since windows has a very weird restriction character set for naming, while linux pretty much only prevents you from using / (directory separator)

    truenas is one of the industry staples, but that's more involved, has a lot of config and flexibility as well,

    it's both the worst, and the best part lol. It's great because everything is so standardized and well implemented half the time it feels like using an open ecosystem, which is truly the best. The other half of the time you have so many options you have no idea what to use, in which case i usually like to select by popularity and it's minimalism.

    Microsoft is still a ghetto, and Apple is a WASP country club where the HOA president lives next door and is “retired”. Computers are both at an all-time high for choice and in some of the worst states it’s been in.

    linux is quite literally whatever you want it to be, and that's why its the best. Can be anything from NYC to a suburb, to a hippie commune if you so choose, just depends on what you want lmao.
