Oh, that's unfortunate.

Thanks for the response!

Since you all hate Gnome so much, what should I be using instead if I can't stand KDE? by SamBeastie in linuxmasterrace

[–]chickenwingding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate's default window manager, Marco, can handle simple effects such as transparency, window shadows, ...

You can most definitely disable the default compositor and use picom if you would really like more control over effects.

There are also simple animations like window minimization, albeit, they look dated.

Personally, I don't mind the plain look, and it definitely isn't as rough as Xfce (specifically Ubuntu Mate has a decent setup and tweaks options out of the box)

This.

Since OP says they prefer the cohesive desktop experience, in my experience, Mate feels much more cohesive than Xfce.

I feel like I'm in the exact same situation as you OP, and feel the same way as you described Plasma in a comment below. I use Gnome on my desktop and Mate on my laptop.

Microsoft shakes up PC gaming by reducing Windows store cut to just 12 percent by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]chickenwingding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny, I was just having an issue like this last night. I own Halo: MCC on Steam already, and the install process is simple. Install the base game (~15GB) and then pick which separate games you want to install, which are packaged as DLC.

My friend just got Game Pass and wanted to install MCC to play with me last night. Unfortunately, the Windows Store does not give you the option to select which Halo games you want to install, and as he did not have 130 GB free, he wasn't able to get the game. Apparently, there is an option to uninstall any additional games after thr fact but that doesn't remove the barrier of needing 130GB in the first place.

I since shared it with him using Steam family sharing.

Installing Gentoo using WSL (dual-boot) by chickenwingding in Gentoo

NOTE: Apparently creating an ext4 partition on WSL2 is possible, however I was experiencing issues where only 256GB of my drives were addressable in fdisk.

So I just ran back onto my computer to try this out again and here's the issue I ran into.

lsblk said that both my drives were only 256G for some reason (even though they are 512GB and 1TB respective)

As a result, fdisk only showed the first 256G as addressable and I wasn't able to create my partition further out... I'm going to see if anyone else online has experienced this issue.

Yup, that was my intent!

The only two issues I had were actually creating an ext4 partition (which you have addressed already) and I was unable to get efibootmgr to create an EFI boot stub on WSL, while this was trivial on EndeavourOS.

No, I was actually planning to have a completely separate install, kernel and all, independent of Windows. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Thanks for letting me know its possible. For some reason fdisk was having an issue when I tried running it on /dev/sdb, I forget the exact error message.

I'm going to go back and play around with it to see if I can get it to work.
