  • Brother. Take a deep breath. Lmao. You’re coming in hot with all these assumptions without knowing me. First assertion is that I am actually originally an American. I’m a fucking immigrant whose country had very little cars, and we didn’t even have such thing as public transportation. We just walked. Near me here in the US, the nearest bus stop is about a mile away. And the bus comes there literally once every couple of hours. So, going to the gym would take me at least 3 hours or more including my gym time.

    I don’t assume people are poor or ghetto or whatever shit you assumed I do without knowing me. Jeez. It would be the kettle calling the pot black, my dude. It would be stupid. I’ve been working out my whole life and I don’t need any lessons from you, thank you. I’ve never been fat in my life and will never be (I don’t go to the gym to be skinny. I can do that without gym). I just don’t want to waste 3 hours for something I can do in 5 minutes. I have this thing called life and family, ya know? My car is old and paid off, too. It ain’t no damn luxury either. Worked my ass off to pay it off. Don’t assume things about strangers you don’t know.





  • I don’t think I will ever be able to use anything but KDE. Tried every last one of them and this is the only one that clicked for me. On the steam frame, your interaction with KDE shouldn’t be significant since you’re mainly using this thing to play your games. So, I wouldn’t worry about it too much if I were you.






  • Thank you. And man, I so want to do this. Is there a tutorial that you know of that is good? I don’t even know what to search for, to be honest. I do want to build an image and work on it for a little while and then when I feel that it is ready, I want to install it on my pc. So basically, I want to reinstall my Cachy OS system, but I don’t want to start from scratch. I want to build it in a VM, and add all of my apps to it and configure everything until it is a 100% match of my current system. Without any of my personal files because for that, I have a dejadup back up that I’ll just restore to the new install.




  • lol. Yup. Windows first checks for an efi partition. If there is one, it uses it, if there isn’t, it the creates its own. At first I didn’t know this, and every time I reinstalled my Linux system, windows is gone from the boot menu. It was a mystery until some random person online told me that. So, I then manually moved windows’ boot partition and gave it to it, and then deleted it from being in the same folder with the Linux one. Lucky for me, I always give the Linux boot partition a whole 1GB even though people recommend 300MiB or 500.






  • That’s pretty awesome that you can actually take a VM and make it an actual OS. I seriously need to learn how to do that. Also, the only thing I was mostly told is that the new motherboard might not know where the boot partition is, so like you said, I may need to chroot and let it know where it is. I have been told that it is just

    sudo pacman -S grub
    

    and

    sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    

    . And I’m not sure if that is it or if there is something else I may need to run. I have moved an SSD from PC to another before and it was plug-n-play. Like it just booted right away into the system. So not sure. I’ll see what happens.
