My desktop does have a dedicated gpu in my pcie slot. I just assume my laptop has integrated graphics with the board, its an average/below average hp pavilion from around 2018.

I have 2 SSDs in my desktop, with one containing gaming storage and the other being the boot drive. I would prefer to experiment with linux on my laptop though, and I'm pretty sure it only has the 1 TB HDD. However, all sensitive data should be moved from that shortly so that I may have room to tinker/play around with it.

hey sorry if other people have already answered this, but you can usually use jdownloader to rip audio straight out of youtube. I've been doing that for ages, but sometimes the playlists I want to rip have way more tunes than I want to rip and the quality is all over the place so I want more consistency. It works really well though if you want to curate your own youtube playlists and then rip them.

It should be noted that this also works with video in youtube too- you can rip your favorite videos in their entirety

I think I will definitely check out a virtual box first! My uncle actually recommended that to me at our 4th of July gathering and I thought it was a wonderful idea, I just haven't sat down and done it yet.

I currently have two different SSDs on my desktop- do you think that it's possible to put a linux distro on my secondary one that I use for videogame storage without causing any problems to my videogame data, or would it be better to get a whole new drive for it? Thanks again for all your help!

I will check Deemix out then for sure, thanks so much for the recommendation! I will come back if I have any questions!

I may end up doing that. Or one of those USB 3.0 Flash Drives.

oh, that's definitely less than ideal. I can see why a seperate harddrive is almost more than necessary

I do in my desktop, not on my laptop.

I see! The three partition system seems very handy.

awesome, thanks so much! I really appreciate it

yeah, that's always been the way I've understood it, but it seems like not many laptops these days have multiple drives

As someone who is interested in starting into the world of linux, was having a second hard drive necessary for creating a dual boot system or were you able to do it all on one hard drive?

I wish to break my youtube addiction. Every night I end up going down rabbit holes with a "just one more" attitude that would make a gambling addict blush.

The way I got around ads was adblockers and the like. Or using the new piped website. But honestly, I wish that I had the will that you have to just drop it and never use it again.

update. I was able to see the instance from this instance, but when I try to go to the instance itself it doesn't work. Not sure what's going on but I'm gonna try to join their stuff. Thanks

Yeah probably. I saw where either yesterday or a couple of days ago they posted a link to some sort of japanese website that they were going to start something like that on, but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

I was super busy at work when they announced it and didn't have time to create an account. Really regretting that now, but this is a great community too so it is what it is
