I don’t understand what your criticism is about, then. If the existing software cannot be customized sufficiently to meet your particular needs, then use something else. Those are the choices you’ve got. Or write your own code.

The proper way to install Linux on a Windows computer whether of not you want to keep Windows running is to use the Windows Partitioning Tool in the section on doing operations on the disk and either remove the Windows completely or reduce it to as small a partition as you think you will need for it to accommodate your needs. Then use GPartEd either on your install media or as a separate live booting program to create the partitions you will need or which you want to have on your Linux installation. Remember that every time Windows updates its kernel and it does so without notifical it will mess up your boot information. I learned everything useful I needed to know from other poster like Aragorn who knew all abour\t partitioning but not about the size of modern disks, hard or SSD. bliss- Dell Precision 7730- PCLOS 2025.07- Linux 6.12.35- Plasma 5.27.11

During the Linux installation I just select the 'you own the drive. Do whatever you want'.

For example will your backup tools be able to handle the whole disk? I can back up my "/" root partition on a smaller partition but am finding problems with my "/home" back up of self-created data to other drives. On my machine I created the GID system with a separate /boot and /boot/efi partitions and about a 50 GB / "root" and started out with a large /home which I later divided into a partition to keep ISO files and and another to do Backups of my "/". That was after I discovered that my backup drive was invisible to the Restore file. Good luck and have fun. bliss- Dell Precision 7730- PCLOS 2025.07- Linux 6.12.35- Plasma 5.27.11 bliss- Dell Precision 7730- PCLOS 2025.07- Linux 6.12.35- Plasma 5.27.11

Projects I'm working on tend to be mirrored on several machines. Other than that I don't have a lot that can't be replaced.

There is usually an option in the installer to take over the partitioning manually. Open Source developers understand choice, because it’s something they want for themselves, too.

I found the war about freedom against systemd very funny. First there was only sysv init, which was, at the same time, garbage and the only available tool. But at that time, nobody argued against sysv init for freedm. Ubuntu tried to come with something else but it wasn't better and it didn't last long. Then came systemd, which was, at least, a good alternative to sysv init. It was so good, every major distro start to switch to it. And so the war against systemd started in the name of freedom. Then came alternatives to systemd, which do nothing useful. Maybe some alternative exist before systemd came, but they were never heard of. Some people started to consider them only thanks to systemd. The only reason systemd is mandatory with some system is because of gnome. If you want to use gnome, you need systemd. Almost. Guix managed to install gnome without systemd but it was difficult. So, like it or not, but if there is a real freedom about the possibility to chose your init system, it's thanks to systemd. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

He has fully consumed the systemd Kool-Aid and so it is just best to ignore his whinings about "how great and wonderful systemd really is, if only you would repent your sins and take up systemd as your one true startup binary".

A lot of things systemd do shouldn't be done by an init system, but as it sees every process starting, it's the easiest way to do them. And every alternative who criticize systemd just do nothing to take care of what systemd is doing. To monitor a computer, to know why something is running or not, systemd is really great. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

Well that is the philosophical debate between Left and Right, isn't it.
Right= You May.
Left = You Must.
A sensible system has a little of both.

So that’s progress, at least. What I said, specifically, was that I don't like needless glitz in UI design and it's a source of consternation to me when such things can't be turned off. When it's just something somebody threw together as a goof and it's not being pushed in my face, and when it's actually gone from memory when not enabled (or, better yet, I can just delete it off the disk altogether,) I have zero complaints. FSN, as ridiculous as it is, gets a pass from me for all the above being true. I've got *much* bigger things to get worked up over in the field of bad UI design.

But it can always be turned off. On *nix systems, the GUI is a separate, modular, replaceable layer, not inextricably bound into the OS kernel.
