  • I understand your sentiment, but I disagree with it. It’s not a very good or practical standard for most of us to boycott software based on the developer’s opinions. Why? Because if you started filtering all software, movies, music, games, books, and technology by the personal beliefs of the creators… You’d never be able to use anything.

    Everyone has opinions, some you’d agree with, some you wouldn’t, and many creators have said or done things people don’t like. If you only used products made by people you 100% agree with, you’d isolate yourself and cut yourself off from an entire ecosystem of tools and ideas.

    I wholeheartedly disagree with the developer’s opinions on transgenders, but I still want the project to succeed, and I’ll use it. Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like that that’s the right way to approach it.

    Edit: I’d like to add some more to this.
    What matters more is, does the software work? Is it safe? Is it ethical in how it’s built and licensed? Does the project itself harm anyone?

    If the answer to these is yes, then the developer’s personal politics aren’t relevant.











  • Thank you. And man, I so want to do this. Is there a tutorial that you know of that is good? I don’t even know what to search for, to be honest. I do want to build an image and work on it for a little while and then when I feel that it is ready, I want to install it on my pc. So basically, I want to reinstall my Cachy OS system, but I don’t want to start from scratch. I want to build it in a VM, and add all of my apps to it and configure everything until it is a 100% match of my current system. Without any of my personal files because for that, I have a dejadup back up that I’ll just restore to the new install.




  • lol. Yup. Windows first checks for an efi partition. If there is one, it uses it, if there isn’t, it the creates its own. At first I didn’t know this, and every time I reinstalled my Linux system, windows is gone from the boot menu. It was a mystery until some random person online told me that. So, I then manually moved windows’ boot partition and gave it to it, and then deleted it from being in the same folder with the Linux one. Lucky for me, I always give the Linux boot partition a whole 1GB even though people recommend 300MiB or 500.
