Pretty stoked for this. The superhero genre seems strangely missing in gaming, barring IP related projects connected to DC and Marvel. This came the closest to matching the thrill of being a superhero, when it came out. Character creation was amazing, too

Thanks!

Thank you that worked, now that I understand how to use the combo. Still wished there was a way to set my own combo. But this works

I’ll give that a shot when I’m back at my laptop, thank you

[EDIT]: That didn’t work for me. Wish it did, since it’s a quicker combo! The CKEY + en dash * 3 did though

Ah, thank you! You helped me understand how that chart works

EDIT: Hey thank you, that worked for the immediate challenge — and now I have a use for the caps lock key

Your responses alternate between writing as if you are a random person who happened across this and then someone who is part of the project. Kinda disingenuous. If you are marketing your own project, be straight about it. If it is against the policies to do that, well then don’t do it

I appreciate the additional info. Since I want to make Linux primary (one of my two main points in this little project is getting familiar with Linux!), I’ll look into Luks for that partition

The db2 / vm suggestion is a little over my head, currently, but I’ll research that as well!

Honestly I’ve been away from Windows long enough that it just wasn’t a consideration while I was creating the partitions and then the dual boot. I just discovered that it’d happened when I went to access the shared partition in pop and was asked for the password.

I do want to retain a shared data partition between the two OS, however. Obvs the partition for the Window OS itself could remain encrypted, since that doesn’t affect pop os. And if it is best practice for system security.

I’ll read up that link to see what he has to recommend!

Thank you! I think part of what I’m curious to hear input on is whether I should disable bitlocker for that shared data partition. Any thoughts? Is it a best practice to have it on?

In fairness to your point, this screenshot alerted me that reaper is on Linux which is nice to know. I use it sometimes and hadn’t yet thought to check

It really was. It was for a toilet foot stand.

(and this is how marketing works)

I mostly agree. But that ad with the unicorn shitting ice cream and kids eating was a rare exception that worked

Huh. I was going to have an external HD for games with two partitions: a larger one for PC, formatted in ntfs, and a smaller one for Linux, for if I want to try gaming with it, and formatted in ext4. You’re suggesting that both should be in exfat, instead?

I appreciate the input, thank you. When you say live USB, is it one that contains the original data used to create the distro — like, e.g. what I’d download from Mint? Or do you mean to just copy the whole LInux partition (given that it’s small enough) onto a USB?

I looked into this little bit.

So on a 512gb hd an e.g. breakdown:

Windows 150gb
Linux / 30gb
Linux /home ? 70gb
Data (nfts format, shared with both os) 262gb (or whatever is actually left over)

(I’ll have an external HD for games)

I appreciate the tips, thank you. When you mention making a separate home partition in Linux: my understanding is that we unallocate hard drive space from Windows and, when we first install Linux, it will use that free space to make its own partition. Are you referring to another step, beyond that?

Thank you!

I think that’s where I’m at, too, where I don’t mind have to re-do certain things down the road if I switch approaches or commit to a certain direction

I plan to look into this ofc, but if the games are on an external hd, would Linux use the same files as Windows? I.e. you don’t need two copies of the game so long as it’s on a format like NTFS that both can read? Was wondering whether to partition the external HD to have a Windows side and then a Linux side, with the latter formatted to ext4
