The easy thing is to just format them ext4 and use them as extra data storage.

Edit 2: don’t delete the efi partition!!! Move that just like your system partition. Unless you want to learn how to rebuild it :) unless you’re using Windows boot manager you can remove the Microsoft folder from the efi partition as well

The good news is your system partition is small so you can delete the first two partitions. Make a small boot partition if you want, make a new system partition second ( bigger than your current one), copy the existing system partition into the new one (without deleting the old one), boot into the new system partition, test that it works, then expand the fs to fill the partition. Then you can move your home partition if you want or just make your system partition huge to fill the space up to your existing home partition, then delete the last partitions an grow your home partition to fill the disk

Edit: once you know the new system partition works you delete the old one.

Windows hacking is just as fun as anything else, sometimes it’s even more rewarding just because you made it work on windows! My favorite is replacing the windows shell… Haven’t done that since 7 though :(

The great thing about foss is you can call it whatever you want, fork it even if you feel so inclined.

Nixos, meaning to try Gnuix but I got projects to finish!

I am a nixos fan, I do tell people to use nixos, but for some reason all these switch to nixos posts feel sus. Idk.

I wouldn’t say it’s the only sane way, but it’s certainly my favorite

I think nix just has name recognition, that’s why I use nixos not guix :/

Guix really should be called Gnuix, maybe that name was already taken.

What is this, open source software for ants!?!

This whole story is ridiculous. Put it behind a compile flag and merge it, we all know first across the finish line gets bonus 5 years of standardization.

It’s the law that’s a problem, not the software.

Yes, you’ll be fine

Have you tried changing the connections in this script to use the audacity inputs instead of pw-record?

Also I thought audacity was out, tenacity is in.

Also it looks like wireplumber has some options that my be relevant like node.features.audio.monitor-ports listed here:

https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/daemon/configuration/settings.html

I second this. I need to try guix, nixos has been my daily driver for years now.

Try using alsamixer, check for channels that are muted.

Also check if your distro is saving and restoring alsa settings every boot and remove the settings file

Grub should be able to boot mint fine, just know where grub is installed and which disk boots the system before formatting anything. To test, unplug the windows disk and see what happens

Hopefully this isn’t a common problem, but I was running auto bed leveling manually, the getting failed prints because I didn’t save the levelling results to the printer and I didn’t have gcode to load the levelling data and enable it in my slicer settings.

Maybe something similar is happening to you.

You can also try disabling auto leveling and level manually, that was giving me better prints for a while but it’s a pain.

I think xvnc does this with vnc. If using gnome start gnome-remote-desktop with systemctl --user start gnome-remote-desktop then use grdctl to set it up (or the settings gui). I’ve had luck with rdp on a Wayland session this way.

I get paid by the hour! 😅 But for real though it’s a struggle. Mostly I try to use msys2 for everything but. I still have native git. There are some long standing bugs that make the vim excruciatingly slow to open or close, really I should go try to fix it but it doesn’t feel like a fun problem.

For work, I just use windows. Not my machine not my problem.

Also, what do you mean by crashes? Kernel panic? Random app death because the oom killer was activated should be expected when pushing the memory limits on Linux.

I’m running 8 and 32 in my T490, seems to work fine. I’m building software and leaking memory like crazy and it’s never been weird. I don’t see why 8 + 32 would be any different than 8 + 16 other than capacity.

Doesn’t the channel balance not matter that much? Like operations can be done in parallel. I always thought the benefits came from reading different things from each ram chip not synchronizing them byte for byte.

Check your disk usage with df -h

When my machine gets weird it’s always out of disk space.
