Oh, my teaching of the file system is (and the video does it nicely) these are your folders, these are not your folders just like in windows hehe once i finish the last touches she won’t really know she is on linux

oh nice, I will go down the zfs rabbit hole one day, but not today hehe thank you

Oh yeah! Meant to do that on mine, ext4 is what I am using, but yeah she will get btrfs as timeshift suggested it when I finally activated it last month

If I had gone with mint I would have brought her on it as well as it is easier for me to support what I am using, tho if I were to set her up and then never help mint is the way. The only DEs I really used ever were Gnome and KDE, I did play briefly with XFCE and another one I can’t remember from the early 00s

edit: forgot to thank you for the offer of assistance

lol

I found 4 different G13 “drivers” on github, the only one that worked was the one all the others forked from

Base buttons (left, right, wheel), yes they will work, just the 12 on the side need to be programmed (look at the razor naga for an equivalent example to her mouse)

That will be a fine day

Oh, perfect, thanks. I’ll take the easy route and check this repo out

Yeah, simple as possible. She has 2 drives (a new 1tb m.2 and iirc a 1 or 2tb platter) and that will be the extent of partitions, I even stopped doing partitions on my systems this time around. I didn’t plan on doing a vm, now I just might, (is there a container or something ready to dl? I seem to recall reading that a bit ago. Iit has been a long time since I used a vm, is it possible to clone her active windows into a vm?) her proprietary needs are simply G13, ESO and Minecraft, the rest as you say are web based. HELL no to external repos, except the G13 one, I certainly do want it simple for her. Over the past 4 months I’ve been scrutinizing the updates before running em and have had 1 issue with FF but the rest has been a dream.

As I said I’m leaving her a rip cord in case she just doesn’t like it, I don’t see her having issues after a week of use.

The version I am using will have support til '27, so will get her used to the environment first. Then I’ll need to do the change to Debian first to ensure everything works before the end of life, lets hope I have the mental energy to do it then.

you will need to do the support

No different than with windows, am prepared

prism launcher

Oh, thank you, will check it out.

Thank you

Just curious, why change the drivers first (I’ll be switching out my nvidia for amd in the future) will it save time or what?
