Lazy people tend to be creative people, which is good, especially when confronted with boring activities.

I'd solve it in hardware, maybe an ESP32 dongle with a mic pretending to be a keyboard.

Seriously though, sounds like you need a more creative or fulfilling job.

Slackware.

The only 2 scenarios where I can see problems are: old distros that must have a boot partition or outdated installers that will not recognize LVM volumes.

Don't get me wrong, but please start using LVM volumes, ZFS volumes or BTRFS subvolumes instead of partitions. We're not in 1995 anymore.

I know a lot of you come from a Windows background so you're used to juggling partitions with all the hassle that entails, but if you put a bit of time towards learning LVM you'll find that you can stretch and shrink volumes to your heart's content.

You can do neat tricks with mirroring, stripping and other RAID levels, mix and match disks and more.

Nothing wrong with that, it's a great song.

Maybe more like techno-glam-kitsch-pop-rock, but great fun nevertheless. 😁

Exactly. Buying gives you a small dopamine bump, but it doesn't last very long. The downside is that you spent money that could be better used elsewhere, got another trinket to crowd you out of your house, and probably distracts you from healthier or more fulfilling activities.

That's what I did.

On their site you can order a fully customized machine and they'll even install Linux for you.

I ordered a full AMD laptop with a lot more RAM by saving the Windows tax.

They are solid machines. I just got a Thinkpad P1 Gen 6 from work (1,8kg with a friggin 880 gram 230 Watt power supply that I will not have to carry around, fortunately) and it is great.

She should abide by the company rules, use company provided software and follow company policies if she likes working there.

Otherwise she should move. Bypassing the rules is very unprofessional and can get you in trouble.

Portugal.

We've been doing our own thing since 1143. People are mostly nice, crime is very low, most social unrest culminates in barbecues instead of burning vehicles, like is usual in France or Spain.

As a person with terrible memory I find that telling the truth requires less work than lying.

If there's no work involved in keeping the lie then sure, I'll lie.

On the other hand Tidal will force feed you your favorite songs over and over instead of suggesting something similar but slightly less popular.

Try it out and see if it fits you.

There's plenty of resources and helpful people out there to help you, and a lot of new shiny tech and toys to enjoy.

Have fun and help others if you can.

Ansible isn't that bad, it's just quirky.

I think maybe it's older, I remember it being around at the same time as Aldus PageMaker, which became Adobe InDesign.

Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer are now sitting around the fire in The Bannered Mare, Whiterun.

Partitioning does have benefits especially for enterprise scenarios. It allows you to specify different policies per mount point (i.e. no executables on /tmp, etc.). It prevents a runaway process from filling your hard disk with logs. It lets you keep your data separated from your OS, or have multiple OSs with the same home partition.

For home use you'll probably go with something simpler, like separated home, root and games partitions, for instance.

Nowadays you should opt for LVM volumes or BTRFS subvolumes instead of partitions as these are way more flexible should you change your mind in the future about the sizes you allocated.
