Current state of NTFS compatibility? (reddthat.com)

Hi all. I've used Linux off and on for almost two decades now but most recently in a VM. I'm thinking I might make the permanent switch sometime before Windows 10 EOL. My concern is that I have over 12TB of data spanned across many drives, all in the NTFS file system. How is NTFS compatibility nowadays? For a time, I remember it being recommended to mount NTFS as read only. It seems infeasible to convert my current data to a Linux filesystem. Thoughts?

Edit: I don't have time to reply to everyone but thanks for the information and discussion. I'm looking to rearrange some things on my drives to free up one drive entirely and then perhaps give Fedora Linux another spin on a secondary drive along with Windows on another. If all goes well, maybe Windows will get the boot or um never booted again.

I decided to start taking shrooms regularly. Works for me. YMMV.

Boo. Everyone boo this man.

Does anyone know a good Linux live image for diagnosing systems? by annoyedcamel in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] annoyedcamel@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

It's not free but I highly recommend Parted Magic. I've been using it since at least 2015.

Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW by annoyedcamel in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] annoyedcamel@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

I'd love to switch to Linux. I've used Linux off and on for almost two decades now. At one point I was triple booting Windows XP, Windows 7, and Fedora. The one thing holding me back is, strangely enough, game compatibility. I know Proton has made huge strides as I've seen it first hand on the Steam Deck, a lovely little machine. The problem is, I have a huge library, and while I'm okay with slightly less than ideal performance here and there on the Deck (40hz mode anyone?), I absolutely refuse to lose any performance due to running Linux. Benchmarks still show some titles losing 5-15% performance when running through Proton.

Don't get me wrong. I love FOSS. I donate and try to spread the word as much as I can when I find a passion project, and find it particularly useful. Even though this may seem to go against what I previously said, I'm debating on switching to Linux when Windows 10 loses support. I do not want to enable fTPM on my motherboard or update my BIOS if I don't have to. My PC is stable, no thank you. I feel like I'll have to troubleshoot whether I choose Linux or Windows 11. Ugh.

Android vs. iOS by annoyedcamel in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

All I know is LineageOS claims to support devices beyond the date manufacturers do. Graphene stops getting updates the same date the manufacturer sets.

What does everyone do with their old electronics? (reddthat.com)

I've been accumulating old electronics for about a decade now and I really need to safely dispose of them at this point. I know some cities have drop off spots for recycling, but the one near me charges a fee and appears to cater to business clients. Obviously I'm against tossing them in the bin. It's small things, like an old iPod touch, Bluetooth speaker etc. What do you all do with your old Ewaste?

Edit: Whew. I'm tired after a long day of...you guessed it...work. Great suggestions in this thread. Thanks y'all!

Tencent set to acquire Dying Light studio Techland by annoyedcamel in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] annoyedcamel@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago

Ugh. Dying Light is such a great game. I tried getting into the second one but only got a few hours in. Maybe I should try again. What does this mean for the future of Techland? I only know that Tencent isn't viewed favorably by the majority of concerned gamers but I don't know the specifics of why.

That's a great vaporizer. I use the same one.

Before you begin, make sure your landlord isn't a spineless twat.

List of lemmy apps by annoyedcamel in c/freemediaheckyeah@lemmy.fmhy.ml

[-] annoyedcamel@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

I'm excited for Artemis. I've been using Lemmy and Kbin almost equally. Kbin's default mobile page is highly accessible, more so than Lemmy but I'd prefer an app. Using wefwef for Lemmy and I'm really pleased with it.
