  • It would be better for your nerves to just do a normal GNU/Linux installation. There are too many ways the installation can go wrong:

    replace swap partition with ISO contents

    For example, Ubuntu ISO has a size of 5.7G. But my swap, which you previously deactivated, was 4G. Either 2G, or it didn’t exist at all.

    move user data from C:/ to other partition

    The other partition may not exist or may have capacity smaller than C:/.

    replace C:/ with linux

    The installed Linux must also be stored somewhere. And there is also a copy partition for C. The same problem of lack of space.

    move user data to /home/$username

    From %APPDATA%? You would have to be a know-it-all to resolve the location paths and configuration names of literally every existing program.

    reboot into linux

    And it is at this moment that Windows will completely randomly decide to update and rewrite the bootloader :)






  • Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I’ve noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.

    Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.
