Two parttions, everything you need, no useless space wasted.

I always thought data goes into a separate partition so that neither install of win10 or fedora can screw up anything should something go wrong. 3 partitions bad idea? Put all data on ext4? Not ntfs (compatibility)?

And no deciding between data and application space.

The fedora or win10 install will only hold downloads and stuff. But data part is where it'd all reside. So Mount it as needed and umount when unused. Fair enough?

If you force winsh*t to do real poweroff and flush its journal linux should be able to very safely access and write to the c ntfs.

Again, you'd have to do safe shutdown for windows no matter what and fedoras data that isnt downloads should be on ext4/xfs anyway.

Ah. Wouldn't winshit jump up and down to find and access ALL data if I were to put it on ext4 rather than ntfs?

Yeah so you're saying that all data goes to c drive rather than dedicated partition?

All SHARED data goes on windows because thats two way accessible.

On official proprietary version you cannot because it doesn't respect systemwide font settings.

Yeah got it ??

Firefox, Chrome, and Telegram Desktop, I use all official version.

Guys, a question about a dual-boot install (F28 + Win10 1809). Asking for a friend: He recently woke up to a terrible day where his Fedora install completely vanished from the hard disk. So I digged it up and found out that all the partitions were completely gone where Fedora was installed. I mean like, it was unallocated. I then immediately used a F28 Live media and installed gparted and it was in fact true. the partitions somehow disappeared and they show up as unallocated but the windows install was left unscathed. This was after a BIOS update from Dell, could it have been the issue?

And ideally windsh*t ends up in a vm :P

Windows format ESP partition on it's installation. You must reinstall Grub 2 manually: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2

Ikr? This was about a friend who digs Visual Studio for professional work and Fedora for everything else

And no deciding between data and application space.

But, if there's no means for data backup, an OS update gone wrong can take the data with it. With a seperate partition for data, there's no need to worry about that imo.

And because its so nice it can take the boot sector right with it.

SSDs are too expensive in UTC+ 5:30 damn

I lately found some for ~30€

With bad controllers.

A windows update can take down all ntfs platters no matter what.

Doesn't matter to you coz your procurement budgets are off the skies. Hey wait, that's for your personal use or at work?

But if someone truly wanted ssd speeds...

I was speaking of issues that can come in both OSes. Besides, I was speaking of a seperate EXT4 partition for data not ntfs. Yes, windows can't access it but I assume the primary OS of the user is Fedora.

Also I was wondering, are Optane memories faster than SSDs?

6tb nas for personal use ?

I do photoshoots at every furry event

Wondering what stuff goes into it :P :P

Windows can be installed in KVM directly on Fedora.

Ikr. But you need higher specs if you need good performance on windows. For low end machines , dual boot is the way to go.

What's a furry event?

Only ~7% performance penalty if your CPU support VM hardware acceleration.

Daaf!!! What do people do there?

Invite me next time

Dance, chat, having fun...

Invite me next time

Don't you boil inside such a consume when dancing?

There are industrial fans everywhere to cool the suiters

I have a feeling that that's you

Just find a furdance next to you. There is guaranteed to be one in europe or america, xD

I have no fursuit yet but if i had it'd be a husky-ish or greywolf mix with blue accents. :P

So you just show up normally while everyone else is in their fursuits?

I found this wonderful article from @jwflory https://opensource.com/article/17/5/introducing-riot-IRC @rm_rfasterisk This is what I was talking about.

@hellbanger Cheers! Glad you found it useful ?
