This really depends on how you installed. Some partition types are easier to resize than others. The most important thing to do is backup everything important before you do anything.
Then boot to a live CD and you can use something like gparted or KDE Partition Manager to delete the NTFS partition and resize your Linux partition.
If you have a spare drive with enough space, it’s a great idea to take an image of the whole disk using Gnome Disks. That way if anything goes wrong, you can restore to the point you took the image.
Look up a tutorial on how to resize specifically your partition type (luks, ext4, btrfs, etc) with KDE PM or gparted. That should inform you of any caveats you should be aware of beforehand.
Preferably image the whole disk to some file on another disk so you can unfuck anything that gets fucked.

Wow, you weren’t kidding.
I use Nephele through Nginx Proxy Manager.
Fedora, but I wouldn’t say I’m in love with it. It frustrates me the least. No Linux distro is perfect, but they’re all better than Windows.

2·1 year agoTheir sales figures seem to show that the majority of people don’t care. For my needs when I’m using my MacBook, I’m one of those people who don’t care. That’s probably because it’s not my main PC, so I use it for the things most people probably use it for (browsing, watching media, some light work).

11·1 year agoYou can buy a super cheap cloud VM and use a (self hosted) VPN so it can access your own PC and a reverse proxy to forward all incoming requests to your own PC behind your school’s network.
It’s arguable whether this would violate their policy, since you are technically hosting something, but not accessible on the internet from their IP. So if you wanna be safe, don’t do this, otherwise, that could help you get started.
Yes, but then you’re not using IMAP.
If you’re using IMAP, the emails aren’t completely downloaded by Thunderbird, just the headers.

I love how no matter how much the market makes it explicitly clear that an idea is absolutely terrible, Microsoft will just be like, “we’re doing it anyway, fuck you.” The best argument for Linux is just to gesture vaguely at Windows.
