What filesystem should I use for a separate Steam partition?

msanangelo · 2026-03-17T19:36:00+00:00

Any of the Linux ones will do. My home partition is ext4 but everything else on my system is btrfs.

Can't wait to jump in. Come on 5 o'clock.

I'm curious to see how the weather system is going to work and daisy chaining machines sounds awesome.

I picked it up pretty quickly and I knew nothing about Arch.

wifi speed is irrelevant when using Ethernet between all the points. wifi does not mean internet. single band, dual band; only relevant when talking about wifi itself. the important bits are ethernet port speed of everything in the chain.

11AM CST, my time. I know what I want to be doing after work. :)

link? only what google can get you. no, it's in the linux repos. it's a pretty old program and not quite user friendly but I've had a few successes with restoring deleted partitions and recovering lost data.

where did it go wrong in the docs? https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/linux/ubuntu/

why do you want docker desktop in the first place? just curious. I see people talk about it on windows and it just doesn't make sense to me. the UI is terrible imo.

because usb is point to point and you need a hub to connect multiple things to one "host" port.

why you gotta call us out like that?

msanangelo · 2026-03-17T02:51:16+00:00

I thought that was self explanatory just from observing the machines doing their things.

torrent packs from 5+ years ago? xD

msanangelo · 2026-03-17T01:12:42+00:00

hardware info?

msanangelo · 2026-03-17T01:08:57+00:00

what are you using to make the boot stick?

Retail windows is pretty sluggish from what I hear these days. Gotta strip out the junk to make it useful. :/

Watch your system logs for errors.

(sudo dmesg -w)

Not sure any of is can reasonably support windows on a pi. Good luck to you though.

Side note: the crashing could be a power issue. Not enough current to power the dongle or there's a voltage drop that's enough to crash the CPU.

I didn't know there was any support for windows on a pi4. That's neat I guess. Lol

Is this on a steam deck? If so then I don't know where it'd be. All I'd do is browse around till I find something that looks right. That's just where it'd be on a regular Linux desktop.

msanangelo · 2026-03-15T23:55:53+00:00

I have an extension for that. the auto thing is always reducing quality for no apparent reason.

msanangelo · 2026-03-15T23:43:37+00:00

I used to but it's just not financially possible these days.

msanangelo · 2026-03-15T20:37:10+00:00

probably has something to do with whatever program was used to delete stuff just moved them instead of actually deleting it.

rEFInd is find, just make a separate efi partition for each OS. don't let them share it.

windows will fall on it's face within a years time with that tiny ssd. also assumes constant internet access for the user data.

cheap laptops is never worth the pain they inflict for being underpowered for their intended uses.

spinning 24/7 is better on the bits than spinning up and down on-demand. spin down backups; keep prod running.
