Huh, interesting. Didn’t know about mklink
. So with this, can Steam games be used from NTFS directory?

Well, technically Steam expects a file system to act as a Linux file system. Since some features that Linux file systems support do not exist on NTFS, it doesn’t work correctly.
By the way, if you’re gonna use Proton for a game, you can backup and reinstall it by using that backup on Linux. You don’t have to download it again.
NTFS doesn’t support symlinks, so it doesn’t work correctly from NTFS partition. Also it is possible that you can corrupt those files on NTFS partition by doing that.
Basically don’t mix Windows stuff with Linux stuff when running programs. It’s okay for media.
If I want to see US news I would subscribe to US news or just “news” communities. Maybe you are right, I can unsubscribe here. They don’t even have the ability to downvote anyway.
If this news was “Vise President Jessica Alupo holds rally in Arua” would that news interest me, or it would be important for Uganda and Congo? It’s the latter. It’s pretty much the same here.
Yeah, right. “World news”.
You can also switch to LibreWolf for better privacy but don’t try to take all the steps at once. Slow and steady is better.
Wait, Pop_OS switched to rolling release?
First of all, welcome.
Don’t try to install many different distros in a short span unless you are a distro-hopper. Just pick one and do everything on that. Manjaro would cause problems especially if you enable AUR. If you want cutting-edge and still want to use GUI for management, I suggest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
For hard disk read-only situation, that happens with NTFS partitions for safety reasons. You can change that with Gnome Disks by setting auto mount and user options. Know that NTFS is a Windows file system and runs on a compatibility system on Linux.
It’s better to start with beginner friendly distros. Some people even settle with one distro and use it without changing ever. Unless you want to discover under-the-hood features, most distros will look the same.
Also, things work differently on Linux. Once you get used to them, you’ll find them more straightforward comparing to Windows. However, getting used to them might be a challenge for some people. Get ready to read Wikis.
Don’t be hasty. Continue to use Windows until you feel ready while creating your ideal workspace.
Go for functionality before starting customization anything, you can do that anytime.
I think that’s nice as long as people can jailbreak them.
Hmm, so the tactical part kind of died. That’s sad.
Heh, never heard of that game.
While this is true for my another older netbook (40 W), my netbook’s power consumption for running Pi-hole is ~15 W. I think it’s acceptable for such operation. 5 W is tempting though.
I’m using my old netbook as Pi-hole and some home server stuff. Does its job.
Depends on what you need actually. I was doing fine with urxvt on Xorg, so foot is a perfect alternative for me on Wayland.
Jevons didn’t know that autonomous vehicles can work like a hive mind, today it’s possible.
Not exactly moneyless but imagine quality of life improvements for Stardew Valley. That’s “Fields of Mistria”.
That’s a good analogy.
It doesn’t use Visual Basic for its macros so I wouldn’t expect a complex compatibility. To be fair Excel macros is usually a problem outside of MS Office.
That makes sense. Thanks for the detailed reply.
Though you could ask this to OP, they might try it. Personally I don’t use NTFS even on my external HDDs.
