I hope you get bullied

persistent partition

Maybe you could by creating a new boot partition and then cloning the current one into that before deleting the original one and reconfiguring grub?

you can’t easily. you fucked up putting it there

What’s with the big spike in “unknown” at the same time as Windows market share going down a bunch?

Pick up a used Thunderbolt >=3 one from EBay if your laptop supports it. I have a ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 dock that I bought used for ~$100 and it has served me very well so far.

One thing I just remembered that you might struggle with is applying patches which is how you install “extensions” in most suckless software including DWM. Do you know how to use Git or some other version control system? If you don’t know Git but have used Subversion or Perforce or something then it should be fairly easy to pick up but if you haven’t used version control ever then resolving conflicts between patches might be a little tricky.

DWM

Yeah it’s customised by editing a C header but you don’t really need to know C to configure it, you can 100% just copy the patterns that are already there and change them up like you would with any other config format.

Just install Void. It’s the only non-shit distro.
