Another question, if i time-shift my system, would my extensions and all its customization be restored or is it just the system? this is what i did when i snapshot the system. if i end up deleting the DE and it fucks it up- would it restore the DE itself?

Using POP OS- Gnome 3.something but its 20.04 Ubuntu for sure. gnome feels heavy and bloated so i wanted to switch to KDE. i was wondering if keeping Gnome and/or its system apps eats my system resources? if so then i want to remove it.

IT worked, thank you so much. one final question, can i rsync to back up stuff? what about root?

This is what i get but ig i do have LVM as u mentioned. that is my root ig. and i dont think i be using much of it. so i made my mind- i'll jus add the HDD as my extended home/dir (can i shift it however?, its on ext HDD so i cant really remove it as a ext) and then back it up.

(i am very sorry for the late replies but i live on a different continent, so timezones- you know) i nvr heard of LVM so ig i dont have it Xd. OKay so ig in the future i can buy another SSD for linux- so let me not worry about future proofing just yet. Could i install Games (ig lutris is the only one for now) on /home ? like i think i can caz it prompts me to select a disk but i haven't tried. And also could you suggest me what to use for my backup? i am literally 4-5 months into the linux world and i am loving how it works and home much focused and streamlined things are.

also another question, can i only have my Boot efi partition on the SSD (i think that is responsible for the fast boot time) and have my root partition be on the HDD there ase well? also i meant that i dual boot windows and linux from the same SSD and have root, boot efi, swap and recovery partition on the SSD. A part of a external HDD is my home dir.

I have my SSD that is shirked to run linux and windows (dual boot), and a part of a ext HDD as my home dir. Ik i thought i really wouldn't use linux for long but i began to love it and its my daily driver now. So bought a HDD for it. IF it isnt possible, suggest me a way to best use this hardware. TIA

and Others, "IPS is Interruptible Power Supply. It has the same components as the UPS except that its Inverter will only turn on when the AC main power is out thus there is interruption during the switching of power from AC to Inverter. While the UPS is continuously running and supplying power to the load by its inverter which is powered by batteries. Only the battery charger stops when the main AC power is out." https://www.quora.com/What-are-those-differences-between-UPS-IPS-and-AVR But Ik how this sounds to run ceiling fans taking 250w(or more) total (4 fans- they are like as old as me-16-20 years), Lights of 100W (total) LED's and the TV (buying a new one), but its actually a necessity. let me explain. My sister about 12 years old has autism and while the load shedding is not that bad but a second off electrify freaks her out and she has a habit of watching videos and TV running and we installed a satellite TV connection just for her. For my needs, i could use very low powered laptop (run linux on it) those netbooks that runs like 150w 512Mb of ram or something. and a table fan (about 50W). So today i went out to check out my options. and others are locals who can put those stuff together. what should i do, and yes If my dad wants to run the house (not liking how i planning things to run things at min) then we could just get a generator and UPS for PC and Battery packs for the ISP converters and routers. (i'll talk to him about this though and not really sure what he is going to side to). so with that in mind, what do i do? 900VA is like 330.29 USD amd second one well its more than this. 1USD=80Tk.

i guess so, Honestly the only thing that holding me from nuking windows is valorant and LoL, and a renaming tool called Bulk rename Utility. so idk if this will even be needed but nothing wrng with gaining abit of knowledge.

Lights (LED), literally 16-18 year old ceiling fans, A socket for running CRT TV and a DTH.

also this should back up the home dir right? tar -cpzf backup.tar.gz --exclude=/backup.tar.gz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/dev --exclude=/sys / so my home partition in the exHDD is not a problem here.

Bro i am really sorry that i didnt check in LTTf , DUDE this is soo awesome. I really love Linux and main it actually and would prefer over windows anyday. I logged in today just to ask for a laptop under 350$ (linux friendly i mean) and i found another Gem in the Linux community. Love you man, will try this.

Preferably using a dedicated icon or shortcut on my doc. I already assigned certain app to run on certain work spaces.

my home is in extHDD and root in my SSD(and also windows).. "Warning: Do not attempt to mount or boot the partition that runs the host OS with a VM, as that can lead to severe data corruption. And no matter which drive or partition you want to mount, it's always a good idea to back up any existing data on it before continuing." is it saying i shouldnt mount windows while running windows or u cant mount partition that has another OS on the same drive but on a different partition.

Can you tell me how to though, i really cannot find any tutorials to do that.

oh that would work too, my work is very minimal tbh. guess VM can do the trick.

Basically i don't wanna do all my Configure from the beginning and i really don't wanna delete (dual booting) it to make way.

if u can see the other posts, you will get where i am coming from. i have no idea how it happened and now ended up reinstalling the OS though deleting the volume.

Yes, thank you for the heads up. i think its best not to dwell on (not so) advance stuff so early.

ya thats the name, how did i forget it

i believe its gnome files, it directs me there so i guess thats it

i need to edit the scripts there so ig i need to change the owner... now how to do it? very noob with linux

But How am i not?

GAVE UP, I deleted the partition and reinstalled POP OS
