@silver_leaf yeah!!!!!!
@hoppet it's short for "the los angeles quinta"
meta, except lighthearted; also a selfish request
i am once again requesting that we refer to fedi as The Federation, for no reason other than i’m a trek nerd who thinks it sounds cool
e.g. “The Federation stands for peace and tolerance”; “Federation denizens enjoy a Web experience that has progressed beyond the need to entertain corporate interests”; “oh, those catgirls and foxgirls hail from The Federation”; and so forth
come onnn, don’t tell me it doesn’t sound kickass
we’re The Federation!

@SweetAIBelle i would use a separate disk altogether for home, but the other thing to consider is that i'm dual booting on this system, and would like windows to have some of that space too, so it sort of becomes a balancing act of how do i split up this space
i figure since im booting linux off a 1tb nvme drive, i can just break off some of that space for a separate home partition
@SweetAIBelle yeah the main thing for me is that i don't know for sure if i want to 100% commit to this distro yet, so i figure having a separate home partition of some kind is best in case i want to pull up roots and install something else
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri gets an in-development open source remake https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/sid-meiers-alpha-centauri-open-source-remake/
I'm 36. I first realised I was non-binary in my early twenties, and honestly at the time I assumed it would never be generally accepted.
Yesterday I spent eight hours playing a triple-A RPG that casually they/themed my non-binary character, and today I came into work, walked past a row of faculty offices with pronouns on the name-plates, and settled in for a day of being correctly gendered by my colleagues.
I mean. Wow.
@riley noted... thank you very much. this is a single-user home pc so i shouldn't run into many weird edge cases for usage
this is also my first ever proper linux install, so i dont have a previous setup to compare it to. i guess i can always resize these partitions from a live boot later, right? so i guess i could just be conservative for now and resize the partitions one way or another if i need to
if i want to make a separate partition for /home than the root one, how big should i make it versus the root partition? like, presumably most of the space would be for where the users live, but how much should i leave for other os stuff? 20gb, 100gb, 500gb? i dont really have a head for the sizes of things in linux yet
