  • I assume that’s the same way people felt like in 1980, when IBM released the world’s first >1GB hard drive.

    It was as big as a fridge and cost $100k in today’s money to buy, for a whopping 2.5GB of storage.

    My astrophotography projects are several GB each, my phone can shoot 4k RAW video that eats up 6GB a minute and it’s all hobby-level.

    I wouldn’t mind if those 44TB drives became more affordable in a few years, I’m already saving up for a 24TB NAS.











  • Open windows and shrink your boot partition by whatever you want Linux to take. Leave the space unallocated and delete any secondary partitions you may have already created in the first failed installation.

    Then, start the Linux installation again and see if that works.

    If you have a second drive that’s a much better choice because windows will regularly fuck up the Linux part of the bootloader and good luck fixing it.

    Go log into windows, backup the second drive files somewhere else and format it, then install Linux there.

    I just hop into my uefi menu on boot and select the windows disk to load whenever required instead of a dual boot bootloader because I know windows will not damage it
