I shrunk my Win10 partition from within Windows to make space to dual boot into linux so you definitely can shrink an active partition.

I have cancer. It’s SUPER fun having to deal with drug shortages every fucking month, let me tell you. Nothing makes a cancer patient feel better than having to call around to local pharmacies to see who can fill a painkiller prescription. And you can’t call for a refill even a single day before your current scrip is out. So they can’t have it ready for you or set it aside. You run out and then you have to fucking FIGHT to not have to deal with withdrawal on top of the pain. EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.

But you know, profits are more important than health care. So I get it. Can’t have CEO’s going hungry just because I’m in a little pain.

Short version: How do I install apps onto a different partition from the default in Pop_OS! (preferably from within the Pop Shop GUI)?

Long version: I have a dual boot with Windows and I shrunk my Win partition to install linux and eventually realized I wanted more space on the linux side so I shrunk my windows partition again. But Linux won’t let me grow the existing partition since the free space isn’t contiguous. Since I don’t want to reinstall everything, I just created a data partition and have been using that for Steam installs. But I am still running low so yeah, looking to move some apps and realized it doesn’t actually ask me where to install when I install. I saw this thread and figured I’d just ask.

To paraphrase Office Space:

“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m “dealing with it”, Bob…”

I’m sure THIS year will be the year, right guys? Right???

This is Clippy v2.0 and I’m sure it will be just as helpful.

He makes a great point about separating “the FOSS crusade” from the linux discussion.

Whenever I hear “states rights” my mind immediately translates it to “I’m a racist”. I’m not saying you’re a racist, just that it makes you sound like one when you invoke “states rights”.

Correct.

If you’re using nvidia and like Fedora, try Nobara. It’s gaming focused and comes with nvidia drivers.

If you game, and especially if you use nvidiva, I’d recommend Pop!_OS or Nobara.

No, Tesla pushed a software update.

If you’re not doing anything crazy, there’s no reason linux should be any harder to use than Windows.

Once you’re up and running, daily life will be pretty straightforward.

Plenty of great advice in the other posts that I won’t rehash. One thing I didn’t see mentioned is using a live boot to try out linux. You can basically run it off a USB stick before you install it to get a feel for what it’s like. Most “beginner friendly” distros will have tutorials on how to create the live disk. Example for Pop!_OS: https://support.system76.com/articles/live-disk/

Admittedly I haven’t been following US politics much since Biden took office and things calmed down a bit… so I was more than a little surprised to read that they’re trying to impeach him. I couldn’t possibly imagine what for since he’s the most milquetoast president we’ve had in ages. Turns out it’s not even him, it’s “his family’s shady business dealings” whatever the fuck that means.

Honestly, it’s like the GOP has no concept of morality or laws and just heard someone say that Trump did that and it was bad so we should accuse Biden of it!

This. It needs to be visually uncomplicated so I can actually see what’s living on the desktop. Because of that, I prefer bottom right the most, though I generally like much darker backgrounds. Color shift that into something darker like an alien or night scene, and it’d be perfect for me.

So all the choices are fascism and the only way to win is not to play? Yeah, no thanks, I’ll keep voting, thank you very much, and I will keep voting AGAINST the fascists, even when the alternative is mediocrity.

I don’t mind not being better off when the alternative is fascism. I’d prefer to be better off, but I’ll take status quo.

Step one is probably figuring out why the Mojo is turning off. If it’s the USB power going to sleep, the answer could be as simple as running the power USB cable directly to an outlet instead of the computer (which is often better for audio quality anyways). Otherwise, I’d look into the spdif link that the other person posted.

Seriously? Gonna be pedantic about “semitic” and then intentionally use “Zionist” wrong?

That’s the kind of box I’ve been using. Just been running linux on it. It’s been a few years, I’ll look into opnsense, thx.
