  • (grateful for flatpaks for once!)

    That’s how I run my system right now. Fedora KDE + pretty much everything as Flatpak.

    Gives me a recent enough kernel and KDE version so I don’t have to worry when I get new hardware or new features drop but also restricts major updates to new Fedora versions so I can hold those back for a few weeks.

    I made a similar switch as you but from Ubuntu to Fedora because of outdated firmware and kernel.






  • Do you mean your Windows boot partition?

    Windows does not support installing the boot partition on a different drive out of the box. Unless you modified your Windows installation, the drive where Windows is installed is also where the Windows boot manager lives.

    The biggest risk with installing with the drive connected is accidentally installing the Linux boot partition over the Windows boot partition, hence the usual recommendation to disconnect the drive just to be safe.

    You’re gonna have to provide some more details on your setup and what is working/not working though.
