As you see here I already have configured the minimal amount of users that I need in my K Desktop Environment

The next phase will take a bit of time because I need to fine tune critical small keyboard shortcuts so that they work as transparently as they do in xFace with muscle memory

The photograph shot in total darkness consists of two IPS LED panels, each displaying different content. The top screen shows a dark purple background with a circular design in the center. It features a time display reading "9:26 AM" and a date "Wednesday, April 26, 2023." Below the time, there are several circular icons, likely representing different users applications or media options, with a progress bar in the middle. The bottom screen displays a logo with a stylized "K" inside a triangle, set against a dark background with a blue gradient. The logo is accompanied by the text "Wednesday, April 26, 2023," matching the date on the top screen. The overall color scheme is dark with purple and blue tones, creating a sleek and modern appearance. Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.196 Wh

Im starting to achieve platform distro OS translucency regarding more and more projects. Now I can smoothly work in my hugo projects from any distro I want in Linux. All I need to do is keep the copies I work on in sync.
Since I dont run zfs jet on a centralized HDD / SSD I simply use mc -a to do the job manually.
Normally it should be trivial, but the hugo projects want rm -Rf dir otherwise old files with similar size can be changed, thus screwing up continuity

Since my KDE MX install is smoothing out in cfg features I need, which is a combo of XFce components and KDE, I can smoothly switch to the KDE distro and work further while I tune it.

I chose to keep XFce seperate from KDE distro wise due to size constraints I;ve put on my boot partition

The image shows an IPS Led panel displaying a text editor with a dark theme. The file path at the top indicates the file is located at "~/gate/pgm/hugo/quickstart/content/posts/second-post.md." The file is an Markdown document, as indicated by the ".md" extension. The text editor is displaying the content of the file, which includes a YAML front matter section at the top, followed by a heading and some Markdown formatting examples. The YAML front matter section contains the following fields: date: "2025-01-13T12:51:35-03:00" draft: true title: "Second Post" Below the YAML front matter, there is a heading with the text "Level VI md editing" and a command to start a new page with Hugo: hugo new content/posts/second-post.md. The editor also shows a command to open the file in Vim: vim.athena content/posts/second-post.md. The Markdown content includes examples of bold and italic text formatting, with the text "I already know how to do bold in two ways italic in 'another way'." It also includes a bullet list with the text "bullet lists are also covered" and "understood well and this is not the way to do them." The text editor's interface includes a menu bar with various application names, such as "mocp," "mc-a," "cafe," "RemAd," "Azureus," "Banagado," "Poderoso," and "CMOS." The background of the screen is dark, and the text is highlighted in different colors, with the code and text in white, and the headings in orange. Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.360 Wh

My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.

Ай нид хэлп. В ноуте была двойная загрузка: винда и #fedora. Удалил винду через #gparted. Но не могу объединить раздел, где была винда и раздел home с федорой. Нагуглил только одну подробную инструкцию на русском. Описанный способ объединения томов у меня не работает. Может, у кого-то был такой опыт?) Буду признателен за помощь. itshaman.ru/articles/1930/kak-

You can download a live image of gparted and work with the latest version with ease. My debian based distro has GParted 1.3.1 which is quite behind v1.7.0-1

Im downloading the latest right now!

Giving credit to the programmers of GPARTED(8)

gparted works its magic, by entering correct parameters to a suite of partition control & editing commands, which are sh envoked, so you can easily manipulate your partitions on all your SSDs HDDs from the comfort of your UI

When you want to batch manipulate partitions, you can study the log output and make sh scripts yourself, controlling partitions anywhere.
You also have the convenience of running gparted from sh so it still works its magic for you, without the UI!

I usually run cfdisk gdisk fdisk when I partition a fresh mechanical or SSD, later on I invoke gparted when I want to resize or move them

it also runs important commands at the end so that the kernel gets to know your new partition layout, which makes rebooting your machine to use them unneeded

I shrunk and resized a partition where I installed a program, which needed 75GB (*1024!) as installation space but only uses 56GB in the end. I left 12GB of breathing room on the partition after the shrink and of course grew the partition before with the same size, minus the alignment snip of 1MB

This puppy, a "filthy" #JMicron bridge (wich doesn't support readily available SMART reports - afaik), is my new #Ventoy / #Medicat storage!

I just dd-cloned my 128G USB stick, moved and resized the boot&storage partition, with #Gparted.

It semi-failed! I had to plug it into a Windows 10(pro) machine, let Windows complain & "repair" the NTFS partition.

All fine, biz as usual, since! 😅 👍

Mas se você fez merda e ai?

O segredo é sempre ter um pendrive de uns 16 ou 32 gb com o #ventoy configurado
ventoy.net/en/index.html

Esse carinha te ajuda a ter um pendrive bootavél que é pau pa toda obra, permitindo n ter um , mais vários init points.

E usando o #ventoy vc pode ter uma ferramenta pra recuperar discos, tô falando dele o #gparted que tem uma forma de ser usado em live USB
gparted.org/livecd.php

Dai vc consegue checar discos e arquivos.

Por fim tenha um liveCD de uma distro de confiança, no meu caso é sempre a LTS do #debian com live do #xfce (se liga no link de download jovem padawan)
debian.org/CD/live/

Ou usa o #linuxmint essas duas bunca me deixaram na mão na hora de recuperar sistema.

Ah e a dica de ouro pra quem usa #linux.

Sempre mantenha partição home separada da root, se puder em discos físicos diferentes, esse ano mesmo eu já mandei meu root com debian pelos ares umas 3 vezes, mas nada que um clean install mantendo a home não resolva.

www.ventoy.netVentoyVentoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.
