Thanks! It’s not even a hardware issue for me, I pretty much overbuilt this rig. It’s way more than capable of running 11. For me, it’s more of a “I’m done with MS’ BS” at this point.

I would certainly rather take extra steps to ensure I don’t lose something I need later. Thanks for the reply, I’ll end up doing this.

Perfect, thank you!

I’ll reformat the drives to the suggested ext4, that part’s fine. I was worried about whether or not I’d have to somehow convert all of the files going from the NTFS windows backup to the ext4 drives, but the other comment here said just copying them over would work.

Thank you for the reply!

I’ll always upvote Yogi Berra quotes.

No, that’s just how he looks.

That HMS article is wild. As someone with moderate hearing loss and raging tinnitus, this would be a dream come true if it ever happens.

Where does this assumption come from? I grow a garden full of hot peppers every year and spend all summer eating them.

I only put brown mustard on hotdogs, so I think at that point I would just eat a hot dog on a bun covered in Mac and cheese.

I loathe ketchup with every fiber of my being. Other people can use it however they want, but it truly ruins food for me.

Nothing, because if someone puts ketchup on my pizza, it’s going straight in the trash.
