Shhh let’s pretend we are for Groo’s sake here.

Although in all seriousness, my desktop has both: a 512 GB NVMe where the OS and apps are installed and a 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD where I dump data and some slower games.

It’s insane how much more affordable NVMEs are. When I got my 2tb it was almost three times as much as it is now.

That’s kind of great, because root is not intended for regular users.

Not needed, just an extra step to fill up step 2 in this meme format.

I’ve also seen this meme format having the same text on the third and fourth pane.

Maybe “fdisk -l” could be the first panel, then move the original to the second panel.

ALWAYS be careful of the disk names you give to dd as input.

Probably, dd doesn’t care. dd does what it is told.

Though there would probably be some weird effects.

If the ISO was on his boot drive, dd might have broken the partition before it finished reading the file.

It’s a reference to the Arch Linux fuck-up assessment form anyway.
