@glyph this matches what other people said and it's good to hear. everyone else said linux can even format your NTFS partition.
what i know is that for *BOOT* partitions windows gets angry if it can't create the partitions itself, but this is not a boot disk.
*before performing any computer task* Hey, Mastodon‚ is this tool… haunted?
@vojta001 i think the "disk management.msc" program is kinda oblique. i think it might actually be harder to use than diskparted. i do not feel 100% confident what the verbs will do and i like to be confident when reformatting disks. i do not feel certain that it will batch jobs and wait until i've given it all instructions like i know gparted does.
@dlakelan alright thanks. i'd definitely rather be using gparted. honestly, i think last time i did this on windows i was so confused by diskmgmt i switched to the windows cli instead
I am setting up my new hard drive. I think I want to put a NTFS partition at the end of the drive and a Linux partition at the start of the drive. I assumed NTFS wants to be created by Windows, so I went into "Disk Management" and it's… mysterious. I guess what I want to do here is create one "blank partition" filling the non-NTFS bits and then one NTFS partition filling the rest?
Does ANYTHING on ANY OS care if the GPT is created by Windows, Linux, whatever?
Okay so uh
UhhhHHHH
When exactly did this happen because it wasn't the case in 2024
@unlambda @ratsnakegames @zubatshitcrazy You know, sometimes I think bluesky's policy that if the creator of a thread blocks a user their posts disappear from the thread is a really good idea
Cannot *believe* the shit y'all put up with to use software. I spend half my time trying *not* to use software, and y'all want to use software so bad you'll agree to "binding arbitration" for it
