What are you trying to separate from the OS files? If it's just personal documents and stuff like that, I don't see why you can't just keep those in your home directory. Or are you saying you want your installed programs separate from the Linux kernel? Then you can just put the boot partition on one drive and have the root partition on the other (including home). I guess I'm just a little confused as to what it is you're trying to separate here. What do you mean when you say "separate from the OS"?

You could set it up so that your root is on one drive and your home directory is on another

This concept is hilarious to me 😂

Good bot

The amount of 👎, 🤡, 💩, and 🤦‍♂️ emojis on that CentOS Stream PR is so funny to me! Basically every comment the RedHat guy made was like that

Was just helping my mom get some files off her old Windows Vista hard drive the other day. I was celebrating and didn't even know it, lol

Wow, that looks really good!

Don't worry, I'm in my mid-twenties and still got the joke

My dream is to have a RISC-V phone running Linux

Looks more like an aspiring wolf in sheep's clothing!

Good old Zippo! What a guy!

To understand this you need to know how code is compiled into machine code. So basically computers only understand ones and zeros, but that's really hard for humans to work with. So we created something called assembly, which allows us to convert more human understandable phrases like "add" and "sub" to perform calculations and map them to certain machine code instructions (AKA ones and zeros). But it turns out using just assembly was also pretty tedious, so they created languages like C, where you have another program called a compiler take in C code which was easier for humans to understand and convert it to the equivalent assembly automatically.

So most software you run on the computer is a binary, meaning it's a bunch of the machine code that was previously compiled from some other language like C. You can decompile these binaries back into assembly, which you can then manually read and convert back to a more human readable language. There's also other tools out there that make this process easier, but that's the basic idea: take ones and zeros, convert it back into assembly, then try and figure out how it works from there.

No prob! :)

That cat is super funny! If anyone's wondering, the title says "A cat doing special training"

Took me forever to realize I was subscribed to an r/mildlyinteresting and an r/mildyinteresting. Just figured they were the same thing and didn't affect me much.
