  • The typical distro’s installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don’t worry about that. I’m doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.


  • Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

    Yes, easily done.
    Open KDE partition manager
    Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
    Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
    Once it’s transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
    Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check “automatically mount on boot”

    You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

    In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!







  • If you actually wanted to do democracy (and I think one day we will want to do democracy for many if not most things, once the average person is not quite so steeped in false consciousness) you would treat it the same way you would treat a survey. I don’t think each and every person voting actually matters, just like you don’t have to ask every soul in America to find out, say, America’s favorite pie. If only 1% were sampled to vote and it was done so in a reasonably unbiased way, your results would be 99.999% in line with the average American’s opinion/wants.

    Takeaway: We’ve been doing studies and combating sample bias for hundreds of years, including before “democracy” began in the US. We know how to do it, it’s genuinely never been tried.

    Well it’s there at least. Hmm. I don’t know a whole lot about windows but you can certainly get back to those boot options you saw before by pressing shift while booting, which will open the GRUB options. I’d give the windows boot manager another shot from there.

    If that ends up working you can change the grub settings to wait for input instead of automatically booting pop. If that doesn’t work then something is probably wrong with windows and I would just try reinstalling since it sounds like you don’t have anything on there yet.

    This reminds me of one of the best bits from the Xanth novels, where the male unicorns peacock for the female unicorns by leaping in the air and landing horn-first in the ground, then see who can balance like that the longest.

    Which is second only to the part in the same book where the main character is taking a shit in the woods when a harpy shows up and he has to try to run away with his pants down, unwiped, while the harpy is shouting abuse after him data-laughing
