ASN.1 crying in the corner.

Not a bot, just a very peculiar person. I still think the balance is positive for the fediverse. If only they could learn to filter their posts more. The quality is hit and miss.

That's not very useful. Thank you.

Nice. Does it do projections with budgets? Like how is my savings account going to be in 6 months after putting in X$ every month?

  1. GParted is very reliable, but never do any disc operation without a tested backup in hand. Honestly the first and best self hosted thing you can do is a NAS backup.

  2. That Fedora default is a great default for any residential Linux install. You mentioned earlier wiping your NVMe for Linux. That is a sound choice.

Huh. Well that fucks with my current GNUCash workflow of having transactions months in advance. Does Firefly do budgets well?

No, you do the copying and resizing on Linux. Look for a live USB for GParted, put it on an actual usb drive. It's a great recovery tool to have around.

1: for general computing, like storing your photos, documents, etc, just fine. I wouldn't store a database or run programs from it.

2: always, even if not distro hopping. You can use a volume aware filesystem like Btrfs and have @ mounted on / and @home mounted on /home, so you don't have to pre allocate space for one or another. Many distros will detect this setup and smartly use snapshots to revert upgrades without touching your home dir.

Thank you, that's very helpful.

I need to have aptitude because the TUI is boss. Even if it had less features than apt, I'd still prefer it. It's nice to know it's ahead of the curve, though.

Just use aptitude and be happy.

Disclaimer: while aptitude was originally designed to replicate the apt CLI interface, I have never run the search command through it. The TUI is marvelous, though.
