You ever go through your files and realize you have more than a fuckin decade of pictures and videos that you haven't looked through because trying to find anything important on windows is a nightmare so you gave up trying to organize it?
No? Just me? In unrelated news, I have 45GB more storage on my SSD.
There's just. So much crap. Over 10 years of data on this computer and very little of it is organized. Drives me crazy.
6,662 files left to go through. Im tired of this grandpa. I'm about to just delete everything and start fresh. Who needs these random ass pictures from 10 years ago when I could simply Not have them.
Emerges covered in blood and viscera I'm done sorting that drive. Ive deleted many files, countless files, but I am that much closer to moving to linux. All I have left are the few random personal files on the 2TB drive and my music library, which is fairly well sorted already. I should be on linux on my personal computer by tomorrow evening at the latest.
All important files that I cant find, and I've looked pretty thoroughly, have been sorted into the drive that I've been using to gather everything together. I can either continue to procrastinate moving to linux by further sorting everything or I can sort it after I move and hope all the metadata stays intact, which it likely will. Regardless, the rest of my computer is just programs I need to reinstall once I move and junk I dont want.
Many attempts at arch were made but ultimately none succeeded. I have installed the Weenie Hut Jr of Linux Distros, Mint, and will just be content that Microsoft isnt spying on me for now. I may make more attempts later, but for now, I am happy.
I'm finally making the moves to have my laptop be linux as well. I made a windows vm on my desktop and tested if the program that I need runs on the vm. It does, so now I have no reason to have Windows on my laptop.
I'll likely end up going with Mint again cause I've gotten used to it, but maybe this is a good time to attempt Arch Install 2.0? Probably not; between the desktop and the laptop, the laptop needs to be as frictionless as possible because it's specifically for school. We shall see.
This is the last computer I have that doesnt have linux installed as its main OS. I cant wait to pry Microsoft's grubby little mits out of my life as much as is possible at this time.
