The connection is that while the “system drive” (
C:\in Windows,/in Linux) for each system has its own partition, the EFI partition is shared. This is the partition where the files needed to load the respective OSes live, aka the entries you see in the bootloader. You could create a new EFI partition and tell Linux to use that one, but then you would have to select the OS from the boot devices in the BIOS, so no one does that.Also is the fix to manually increase the size of that partition?
Well, yes, but the problem is that it’s at the start of the drive, usually. That means you can not expand it without moving the main Windows partition, which is a pretty bad idea (terrible on HDDs) as it’s prone to data loss. If your OEM put it at the end then you’re very lucky and it’s a quick operation, although it might require to delete some OEM-specific partition (which only serves to give you the branded wallpapers and bloatware if you factory reset from within Windows)
Honestly, if you don’t distrohop this shouldn’t be a problem. I had to do a stupid installation dance to have a 500MiB EFI partition, but I was motivated to do it because:
- I hate Microsoft
- I wanted to fuck around with kernels, bootloaders, and distros

1·5 days agoThat’s an if statement, not an authority.
No one mentioned this yet, but a possible issue is that Windows, for some damn reason, still creates a 100MiB EFI partition, although by EFI spec It should be at least 256 iirc
This can cause the /boot/EFI partition to fill up. Some distros/bootloader are more affected than others, but I’ve had it happen a couple of times
So you’re suggesting running a kneecapped system over USB rather than reinstalling grub twice a year?

1·6 days agoYeah, I guess we disagree on what that means. From my understanding, the fact that such an authority can not exist means to you that the system will be corrupt or unfair, because someone ultimately needs to decide whether you qualify or not. I disagree with that and think you can just skip the authority altogether. Just verify they are not employed and have sold some threshold amount of art, or made performances, over 6 months or something

2·6 days agoSo you are saying that no single authority can define who is or isn’t an artist because art is personal? I agree.

1·7 days agoWhat? How is it random? Having sold your art makes you a professional artist, by definition. Then they sampled at random because it’s a pilot program

Are you using most of your day being creative, or do you have steady employment? You don’t need an authority to determine who is an artist

Huh, I knew the plants used for enrichment were called centrifuges but for some reason I always assumed they were not literal centrifuges. Neat.
