    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.









  • If it’s just hours, that’s fine. I’ve spent months on a system before that ultimately got scrapped. When I was at Google, they accidentally had two teams working on basically the same project. The other team, with about 40 engineers, having worked on it for about a year, had their project scrapped. My team was meant to do the same work, with about 23 engineers. So if you’re ever wondering why Hangouts Chat launched kinda half baked, that’s why.










  • It’s not completely FOSS, but I run Port87, which is quite a bit FOSS. It uses Haraka as its SMTP server, SvelteKit as its server framework, Nymph.js as its database layer, Svelte as its frontend framework, and Svelte Material UI as its UI framework.

    The ones that I created and maintain are:

    The base app layout is also available on GitHub.
