Man, I know Linux is very distinctly NOT a black box, but it sure does feel like one sometimes.

So I've recently been finally getting around to something I've wanted to do for a few years: switching to Linux.
To safely test out this process before applying it to my main tower machine, I decided to first do the switch over on an old Mac Mini which had a lot to gain from this as it was stuck on an outdated and unsupported version of MacOS.
But of course this all involved shuffling around a lot of old data and making sure everything was backed up. And here's where the story begins.
I backed up the Mini's MacOS install to its own partition on an external backup drive shared by my Windows tower machine. Once done, I shrank it to only the used size( which was complicated in its own right for reasons I'll explain shortly,) and then wanted to move it to the end of the drive so I could expand the Windows partition back out to fill the unused space.
Problem #1: MacOS's Disk Utility is so stripped down and lacking in functionality in the name of gloss, it literally cannot work with unallocated space on a drive in any way. You cannot see unallocated space, and you cannot create it. Want to shrink or delete a partition? It automatically creates a new one to fill the space whether you wanted it or not. Want to make a new partition in unallocated space without wiping the whole drive? Gotta use a different OS to make a dummy partition first and then replace it in Disk Utility. And the real problem… Want to move a partition? Can't.
Problem #2: Windows's Disk Management doesn't know what HFS+ is and refuses to work with it. Windows can't even read the Mac backup partition, let alone move it. But wait! I can use EaseUS Partition Manager! …Aaand most of its essential functionality is locked behind one of its multiple paywall tiers, including the ability to work with non-Windows filesystems at all.
But what about that new Linux install on the Mini?
I run 'sudo apt-get install gparted', a FOSS program, and in less than a minute I've already got it moving the partition. No hassle. No BS.
And if this whole thing doesn't just sum up the operating system trio, I don't know what does.

some people might question me. but i am operating under the three tenants of judo: friendship, perfection of the self, and maximum efficiency minimum effort. which is why i am using arch with cinnamon made to look like windows 95 and for backup am currently copying my whole / into an ssd. safety? its not the jigoro kano way. i did censor my system names n stuff for this beautiful image at least
#i use arch btw#cpu operating at. 1%#one!! percent!!!#blender cycles runs like fuckin eevee on this#arch linux#doveposting#best bad idea i ever had

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
You've heard about this before. Here's my perspective: Disable Software Updates. Including Browsers, Operating Systems, and whatever else you don't strictly need to be up to date. "What about that shiny new feature?" If you need it, get that update then re-disable. "But updates are important for security and speed." Unless you're talking new hardware drivers. No, that's usually not the case. You don't need cutting edge security. Being 3 years behind is good enough. unless you're installing and pirating shady software. then pass.
Why?
Simple, if it works, don't fix it. (or update it in this case) Been using computers for 20 years. The pain of an update that removes features im used to, adds junk i don't need, or shoves ads in my face far outweighs the joy of a new feature that is interesting for 5 minutes.

when selecting a new laptop, I wanted to play Sonic Colors Ultimate. I didn't have enough storage on my old computer, but I've had it for too long to refund it, so I at least want to play it once. I looked for this laptop with the minimum specs required for Sonic Colors Ultimate in mind.
fucking hell.
#I'm not installing another operating system. it's not happening. linux mint is the only one I'm going to run on this computer.#but that only leaves me with two options: either repurpose my old computer specifically for sonic colors ultimate#or learn how to run a virtual machine#I'm not even sure which one is more practical. I just know that I'm very frustrated right now.
