“I bought Suffer then I bought a thesaurus”

I used BR lyrics to study for the SAT in high school.

Standardized writing style guides have you refer to everyone by their last name after you’ve named them with their whole name.

After you transfer it, there’s a button to unmod yourself.

Same question was asked about the open internet by Prodigy, AOL, and CompuServe users.

You can’t put “open” back in the bottle once you let it out. Use of the ActivityPub standard will only increase.

I don’t see any way to create a community on an instance that isn’t your home instance. If I’m wrong, please give the steps to take.

Thanks for the warning.

This isn’t the Linux/SteamOS boot drive. It’s an SD card. I tell it to boot to the internal storage or the SD card using the option in the Steam Deck BIOS.

Because of this and because it’s a Windows-To-Go install, neither OS should interact with the other’s bootloader. Theoretically.

Linux/SteamOS should just see this SD card as a data drive.

Update: I’m going for it. The only games I have on the SD card I don’t care much about. The other games are on the internal storage. So if this doesn’t work out, I’ll just reformat the card.

I ended up using KDE Partition Manager since it’s included in the Steam Deck Desktop environment.

This is taking a long time. A quick web search says that’s normal. Probably would have been better off just wiping, installing Windows-To-Go, resizing the Windows partition, and then adding a Linux partition.

It’s been over 20 minutes that’s it’s sitting at:
Move the file system on partition 'dev/mmeblkop1 to sector 999,874,560

Edit: 7hrs later and it’s 47% done with that step.

That’s great info. It’ll be so nice when dual boot is officially supported. I wonder if it’s taking so long to roll out because they want to make sure it works well and it’s easy to use.

Final Update:

I could not successfully clone the Windows partition from one card to another.

So I’m wiping the card I’ve been using with SteamOS, and I’m installing Windows-To-Go. Then I’ll shrink the partition. Finally, I’ll add a Linux partition in the empty space. I assume SteamOS will like it just fine.
