We already have termux for that, and on a rooted device you could do pretty much anything. This is pointless

The title, worded like that, sounds like some brave man waving a sword at a mighty dragon…

Upon reading the article the situation is more like a bafoon waving a toothpick at an elder god

Good thing I’ve rooted my J7 and completely removed all that bloat. And my S5 is running Lineage. Haven’t had a new phone in 8 years

How much disk space have you got??

Couldn’t agree more xd Yeah, I’ve messed up Grub so many times… Now I know what not to do

This is the best option, I agree. This way you have a dedicated disk for linux and you can copy your data from the old drive.

Still, backup your data if you’re doing any of this.

You could dual boot and access your documents from linux by mounting your windows partition. Don’t forget to backup your data before you do anything, especially if this is your first time doing this.

I’m running linux on my work-issued thinkbook. I also asked the IT guy and he told me I could do whatever I wanted as long as it wasn’t piracy. I originally dual-booted it but then decided to delete the windows partition and now I just run win10 on QEMU/KVM if I need to do anything sharepoint-related.

I don’t know any specific desktop applications, but you could try libre office calc :D

Have you tried QOwnNotes? I think it’s pretty good

Aren’t we all on the same boat here? Thanks for the link btw! That’s a new one I hadn’t seen before.

Yeah, yeah, I get the point. However, how else am I supposed to learn what not to do huh? “Do not delete your boot partition” is not obvious enough, I need consecuences for my stupidity.

You know, I’m in a constant battle with bootloaders. I’ve both deleted grub multiple times and windows boot manager by accident and by believing “I could fix it by re-generating it”… More like re-installing.
