It's insane how we don't own absolutely anything anymore.

Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Yes, but I feel that's strategic to make us feel we need AI to do the work for us.

Your input is relevant. It did change my understanding of their comment. Thanks.

That's how I tested different distros, by running them from USB drives. I think it's time for me to actually have it installed. But yeah, as others have commented, it is a bit "dangerous" to dual-boot my only laptop I use for work.

Dual-Boot – Partitioning Question (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello hello!

I’m new to Linux and, after bingeing a fair share of videos, I’ve decided to kick things off with Linux Mint (coming from Windows 11).

Since I work 12-13 hours a day on my only laptop, I’d like to start with a dual-boot setup before fully committing to the switch.

Here’s the catch: I only have 90 GB of free space on my hard drive. Would it be unreasonable to allocate around 40 GB to Mint? I don’t need much in terms of software - my daily workflow is basically spreadsheets, Discord, and Zoom.

Appreciate any advice!
