Well, if Garuda’s installer does what it’s supposed to do and assigns your boot drive by UUID, it really shouldn’t matter. I still think swapping before install and having the system in the planned final configuration minimizes the risk of failure.

Some background: There was a time in history where boot devices were defined by their physical port location, so if you reordered or moved drives, it was up to the user to update the boot config to align it to the new location. If the user didn’t know to do that step, the computer would fail to boot. Modern linux distros should use the drive’s unique hardware identifier to find the device, wherever it’s plugged in.

Ah! We got some footage from the announcement

Yeah I debated mentioning it because fully agree - UUID should cover it. But idk what bootloader Garuda uses or how it configures it, and I have no experience going from an external USB-C enclosure to internal drive, is it really seamless?

I just trying to advise on the side of cautiousness.

I wouldn’t recommend swapping afterwards, moving devices around is a good way to confuse a bootloader and run into problems.

I think you should create your installation medium, remove the Windows SSD from laptop, install your new one, then install Linux.

You won’t need anything special to transfer files, but keep in mind windows 11 uses bitlocker by default, you’ll probably want to disable that while windows SSD is still in the laptop, otherwise that drive will remain encrypted and inaccessible by Linux.

Good luck!

Worked a call center in a past life, went crazy because it’s back to back to back calls to hit my numbers. Suddenly there’s time for employees to watch their AI bullshit?? Maybe instead just let people take a walk, use the bathroom, and cool off between calls? Seems a lot easier…

Is it still considered “eating the onion” if the story is reality?

You gotta be a real scumbag to rip off Kenney. What is wrong with people?

There are system dialogs that have unused space for ads, still plenty to improve!

In all seriousness, cloud (azure) and office subscriptions blew up and account for like 70% of MS profits. They know the Windows experience is lacking, but when they already capture so much of the market and it’s such a small slice of revenue, they have no incentive to improve.

The combined forces of microsoft reaching new heights of greed and intrusion, plus the massive dev efforts for the best ever GNU Linux and Proton 📈📈📈

I hate that book. It’s a great read. Horrifying, inspiring and becoming more important by the day.

He did take down Lau in the dark knight tho.

Max’s 2019 move lmao, came with receipts

I read too fast you said found the receiver, haha. Yep, supported! Hopefully plug and play 🤞

Arch wiki says

Both the wired and wireless (with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) controllers are supported by the xpad kernel module and should work without additional packages.

I guess my question is, have you tried plugging in the receiver?

At least since iPhone 6ish? I think Dark Sky was one of the first apps to use it effectively. They’d aggregate the atmospheric data across it’s users to make hyper local weather predictions (i.e. “rain in 10 minutes”)

2024 Ram 3500, but it’s an industry push from NASTF so probably more will come soon.

Everyone should just vote for the water shaman, I don’t understand why American politics needs to be so complex!

Seriously, for all the “genocide joe” rhetoric I see here and other sites, it’s abundantly clear the other option is "He’s weak, Israel should be allowed to ‘finish the job’ ".

Voters, do you prefer a level headed voice trying to minimize palestinian casualties, or would you prefer Israel get the all-clear to steamroll Gaza indiscriminately, likely annexing it wholesale? Very clear choices.
