Getting a second drive just for windows I think is a good approach. If you were to do so, it’s important that you remove all other drives while installing windows, otherwise the Windows installer will put its boot files into whatever existing EFI partition it finds.

Then using something like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat you should be good to go with a relatively clean setup.

To have a local account, I use Rufus to setup the usb installer in a way that it automatically creates the local account, and it can also disable the secure boot and tpm requirements from the installer if you want. Though I think rufus is a windows program only. I know there’s the “OOBE” approach for the local account, but I haven’t done that before. That could be an option too

Sections 3.3 or 3.4

I did 3.4 to disable the headset profiles cause generally it’s ass

I have had this happen to me when my monitor turns off before the night shift starts and when I come back let’s say an hour later and the night shift is not on.

Prob has something to do with the monitor being off at the switching time

A tip I saw some time ago is to do:

rm folder -rf

Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it’s usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/

Then you can delete it from the trash once you’re certain you got the right folder

It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it’s related to what I’m experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.

With Fedora’s default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don’t have this issue. Honeslty I don’t know what’s up, and from a quick search I couldn’t find people with the same issue. I’ll search again later just in case

One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it’s kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly

Essentially since I switched to AMD almost a year ago, and I switched so I could use wayland with freesync lol

I used DXVK for Dragon’s Dogma on Windows because it ran better overall, vs Directx 9 which the game uses natively.

This was on an AMD Rx 6800 xt

Had this issue not long ago, check out this comment:

That fixed it for me

Not yet but I will check it out, thanks!

Just between yesterday and today I was struggling with this, to get DoH or DoT working, but Network Manager would override /etc/resolv.conf. At least I figured out how to stop NM from modifying the DNS.

I tried my putting my dns settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf, as suggested by Nextdns setup page, but that didn’t seem to work, at least on Tumbleweed. On my Debian laptop running as a headless server, the /etc/systemd/resolv.conf does work.

I’m currently with Stubby, and it’s working at least, but I would’ve liked to figure out the systemd-resolved way on Tumbleweed.

I would say option 3.

I can share my current setup in case you’re interested.

I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:

/ -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think

/home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive

/boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive

Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.

So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.

Maybe the one suggested in this thread might work for you?

I don’t get ads like this, but I have Win 11 Pro and used Sophia Script to disable as much nonsense as I can.

Here are some options if you’re interested: https://ripped.guide/Utilities/Debloating/

You can install windows to a selected Unallocated Space and it will create its partitions, but if it detects an EFI partition, even in a different drive, it uses that for windows.

Yes, in the Useful Tips section. Lots of other cool notes there:

Have fun!

One use case I had was I wanted to use STM32 Cube IDE, but it has a dependency on python 2.7 I think it was. I had some trouble installing it on my main OS, but I was able to get it to work on Ubuntu 22.04 running in a Distrobox.

To add to this, you can even specify a home folder for the distrobox so it doesn’t even clutter your home folder. Really neat
