Do you have a source ?

If you really liked BG3 you might also like Neverwinter Nights 2 and DA:O. I heard there was a remaster of Neverwinter Nights 2 in the works, maybe give it a try when it comes out.

I got 99 cuts, but a stroke ain't one

Yeah, that's not right, in either case.

I dunno, the cloud storage part is quite easy to make at home. Granted, the initial price will be steeper (since you need to buy the physical drive). But in two years time, it will have paid for itself and your data will still be yours.

As for the office suite, while I understand that MSOffice is advanced, for the regular user that I am, OnlyOffice is more than enough.

Very good find, thank you

My assumption is that OP likes linux and is not well versed in the terminal and config files. (i.e. by using GParted rather than fdisk or parted)

Between incompatible config files, particularly your DE config files, reusing home is a bad idea when you might break something and can't fix it in a few minutes.

If you create a new user with its own separate home folder, then reusing /home is not a problem as it will not use the same config files.

If you have the same username, then failure is more prevalent than success, even for seasoned users. The hassle is not worth it anyway. In my case, I backup config files and reuse them as necessary.

You don't need to make a copy of everything on the C: drive, only your personal stuff. You can easily reinstall any program if something goes south.

You can even make a copy of your files on your other HDD, if you have free space.

If you want to simply copy data, using the file manager is sufficient. If you want to copy the drive 'as is' then the command dd is your best option. You can find tutorials online. Just don't mix if and of and you're good to go.

You can buy a compatible NVME drive and it shall work without any problems. As with any drive, a good one will last longer, but any compatible drive is good. You can buy from Kingston, WD, Samsung, ...

Okay. Let's first start with the obvious : any attempt to change partitions may result in data loss. Before starting, backup everything you can't afford to lose.

Now, the reason it might fail is because Windows tend to enter some kind of hibernation state, rather than truly shutdown.

You first need to disable fast boot. To disable Fast Boot in Windows, press the Windows Key + R, type "powercfg.cpl" and hit Enter. In the Power Options window, click "Choose what the power buttons do," then uncheck "Turn on fast startup" under Shutdown settings. If that doesn't work, follow any instruction online to disable it.

Now, when shutting down Windows, hold the shift button when you click on shutdown. It might take a long time to shutdown, that is to be expected (might take anytime between 1 to 10min). Do not panic, do not force shutdown.

Now you can open Gparted. Please note that data loss is possible when touching the partition table. This is your reminder to backup. Resize your partition and hope for the best.

EDIT : Mind you that moving a Linux partition to another Linux partition is always bound to fail if you don't know how to change GRUB config files (+ maybe other cfg). If you don't know how, or you are unsure, don't attempt it.

Your best course of action would be to reinstall a new Linux distro on the newly created partition, then moving your old files. Don't reuse a home partition if one is already present, it is bound to fail miserably.

If you're unsure which FileSystem to use, go with the default one your installer comes with.

EDIT 2 : Seeing the planned partition table, don't shrink Windows to 300Gb when 275Gb is already used. It might lead to errors and data loss. When resizing, it is best to have a free space corresponding to minimum 10% of your SSD capacity (in this case 50 Gb) to minimise errors.

Either resize to 325Gb or lose some Windows disk space.

MSI laptop fan control

Hello,

Until this week I was using Windows for gaming. However since it won't recognise any HDMI screen I switched to linux gaming.

So far, everything I heard was true. We can play on Linux !

There is, however, one small "issue" that I have. I have a MSI laptop (GF65 Thin 10UE) and until now I managed the fans with Dragon Center when gaming. With Linux I don't seem to have that possibility, which leads to overheating issues.

Is there any tool suited to manage fans on MSI, since isw doesn't seem to be compatible with my particular model...
