          1. @xrevan86 Yup, Got myself to run Linux as my main OS for a few months, but I ended up breaking it and getting frustrated :p

          1. @xrevan86 I was running Gentoo and for a long time I was unable to install many packages because its Python configuration got borked and then GCC's profile unset and couldn't do anything. I had random display crashes from the Radeon driver I had to use. And then because I installed two new hard drives this year, grub couldn't find its install... and then I accidentally wiped it and /home trying to initialise one of the new HDDs. I haven't really had a good track record with Linux xD

        4. @coffeecream Gentoo with no wish to face the consequences, AMD videocard… What do you mean by " initialise one of the new HDDs"?

          1. @xrevan86 When you have to format the hard drive in order to use it, when it's brand new :)

        5. @coffeecream Ah, put a partition table, make partitions… you wrote a wrong letter with mkfs, right :-)?

          1. @xrevan86 Well what happened is, I was in Windows at the time, and it showed what I thought was the new hard drive in My Computer, so I formatted it, later to find out via the Disk Management window that I had just formatted all of /home because that was the drive that Windows decided to show, not the one I had just put in... good ol' windows

            1. @coffeecream This is one more # of !windows: it refuses to recognise other than their own partition types and offers 'initialisation'

        6. @coffeecream Good old Windows still lives on your HDD. Good work, Windows.

          1. @xrevan86 I set up a dualboot... I'm a gamer at heart :)

            1. @coffeecream Eh, why you, people, play games, I just don't understand (time for another Babylon-5 episode :-D)…

              1. @xrevan86 Haha, hey, B5 is awesome :D Things like Steam's push for Linux are certainly making it possible for me to go back if I really wanted to... but I'm nervous I'll break something again

        8. @coffeecream To not break anything is easy: just don't ;-).
