Im starting to achieve platform distro OS translucency regarding more and more projects. Now I can smoothly work in my hugo projects from any distro I want in Linux. All I need to do is keep the copies I work on in sync.
Since I dont run zfs jet on a centralized HDD / SSD I simply use mc -a to do the job manually.
Normally it should be trivial, but the hugo projects want rm -Rf dir otherwise old files with similar size can be changed, thus screwing up continuity

Since my KDE MX install is moothing out in cfg features I need, which is a combo of XFce components and KDE, I can smoothly switch to the KDE distro and work further while I tune it.

I chose to keep XFce seperate from KDE distro wise due to size constraints I;ve put on my boot partition

You can download a live image of gparted and work with the latest version with ease. My debian based distro has GParted 1.3.1 which is quite behind v1.7.0-1

Im downloading the latest right now!

Giving credit to the programmers of GPARTED(8)

gparted works its magic, by entering correct parameters to a suite of partition control & editing commands, which are sh envoked, so you can easily manipulate your partitions on all your SSDs HDDs from the comfort of your UI

When you want to batch manipulate partitions, you can study the log output and make sh scripts yourself, controlling partitions anywhere.
You also have the convenience of running gparted from sh so it still works its magic for you, without the UI!

I usually run cfdisk gdisk fdisk when I partition a fresh mechanical or SSD, later on I invoke gparted when I want to resize or move them

it also runs important commands at the end so that the kernel gets to know your new partition layout, which makes rebooting your machine to use them unneeded

I shrunk and resized a partition where I installed a program, which needed 75GB (*1024!) as installation space but only uses 56GB in the end. I left 12GB of breathing room on the partition after the shrink and of course grew the partition before with the same size, minus the alignment snip of 1MB

Mas se você fez merda e ai?

O segredo é sempre ter um pendrive de uns 16 ou 32 gb com o #ventoy configurado
ventoy.net/en/index.html

Esse carinha te ajuda a ter um pendrive bootavél que é pau pa toda obra, permitindo n ter um , mais vários init points.

E usando o #ventoy vc pode ter uma ferramenta pra recuperar discos, tô falando dele o #gparted que tem uma forma de ser usado em live USB
gparted.org/livecd.php

Dai vc consegue checar discos e arquivos.

Por fim tenha um liveCD de uma distro de confiança, no meu caso é sempre a LTS do #debian com live do #xfce (se liga no link de download jovem padawan)
debian.org/CD/live/

Ou usa o #linuxmint essas duas bunca me deixaram na mão na hora de recuperar sistema.

Ah e a dica de ouro pra quem usa #linux.

Sempre mantenha partição home separada da root, se puder em discos físicos diferentes, esse ano mesmo eu já mandei meu root com debian pelos ares umas 3 vezes, mas nada que um clean install mantendo a home não resolva.

www.ventoy.netVentoyVentoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

A friend said try #gparted : which shows me this... and seems to show that it is MSDOS formatted (I think I fell into the Gnome click on a plausibe menu option trap, too much time spent on Apple devices -- woah I have an idea ! ) but on a windows machine I was not able to format it... but then perhaps it was not allowed on that work machine which may have locked the function ...
Where the hell do I find another Windows machine ? Perhaps I can go to the local #wertstoffhof (municipal dump?)

#DIY gift recipe for #nerds: Hacker Multi-Boot Drive!

1) Get a USB enclosure: USB 4.0 is best, but anything that says 20Gbps is fine; amzn.to/3TPz9bG

2) Get an M.2 NVMe: PCIe 4.0 is best, but 3.0 works too;
amzn.to/3XOIp10

3) Install #Ventoy ventoy.net/en/doc_start.html

4) Load up with ISOs: #memtest #clonezilla #hiren #systemRescue and #gparted for getting old computers working. #ubuntu #mint or some other #linux. #kali for h4x0ring.

5) Decorate!

Looking for some solid recos for how to use #gparted on #linuxmint on a dual boot machine (Win and LM). I want to expand the linux space but really don't want to screw up the drive(s). Can anyone steer me towards some clear instructions -- video or whatever. I've googled but don't want to just try anything. TIA.
