So I recently deleted Linux because it was too addicting to me, and accidently locked 300gigs of my drive away.
(lemmy.world)
I don't know what I did but I must've messed up somehow while deleting the distro, so now I only have 700 gigs of my total 1tb of disk space left, when I try to merge the other unallocated 300gigs of space back to the drive, it says "there's not enough space in the disk(s)". Anyone willing to help? here are the screenshots:
I would doomscroll forums, try to solve problems with apps, and try to customize most stuff about my distro, I would stay awake until 7 am i remember accidentally pulling an all nighter once. It wasn't really healthy for me so I had to quit.
That... Is interesting 🤔 Linux can be fun but it should foremost just be a way to run your apps, just "be an OS", nothing more. Choose some well-supported enterprise distro like Fedora or Ubuntu or whatever and just do what you do on a computer, minus customizing it.
I know that's not how addiction works, but I'm sure there is some way for you to run Linux without having addiction problems. Now you're resorting to an OS that spies on you and fills you with ads, is that really what you want?
well, yes you're right about that. I still want to continue using Linux, I guess Ubuntu would be a better choice
Longtime linux user, I settled on using (K)ubuntu based systems at home. Main reason for me is that it's a very well-supported distro and whatever issue you come accross someeone else probably had it happening before. Always having the bleeding edge stuff is asking for trouble imho.
That doesn't mean I don't check out other distributions but I tend to run those in virtual machines. Might be an option for you as well? Play around with Linux in a virtual machine before committing fully to it?
