I'm literally rebooting into Fedora right now to check if it shows the same partitions as Arch xD

donuts238557yWhy do you want to reinstall the OS so much?
As long as all my apps work and continue working, I have better things to do? -
donuts238557y@linuxxx what's so different? All ones I've tried the only difference I've noticed were the UI (Gnome, KDE, Ubuntu?, Shell)
-
@billgates I want to give Arch another shot :). But, for now I've got another priority as my phone is not charging anymore.
-
donuts238557y@linuxxx turn it off or buy a new cable...
Happens to me after awhile if the USB port or cable gets weaker over time -
@billgates Nah it's actually the input itself. So looking for a new phone as we speak :P (tried about 5 cables and it's still not charging grrrr)
-
@linuxxx Could be dust. I was in a computer shop a few weeks ago and a guy came in with an iPhone that wouldn't charge. The worker cleaned it in a minute or so (used tweezers, but a toothpick might work)

PacRat39907y@hookless123 ubuntu usually comes with pretty menus and is one of the easier o es to install
(i'd suggest xubuntu for performance, or kubuntu for features and customizarion.) usually has some sort of "Install alongside" feature for multiple Operating systems
I like arch because of the community, and the terminal just feels more... managable. Antergos is a really good arch-based distro with a very easy to understand installer. if you're dual booting, and you don't feel comfortable messing with partitions, this may not be for you. -
@ParkCity thanks for your response! Cool, I’ll check them out after my finals in 2 weeks. I’m probably going to run a VM since I use macOS mainly.

PacRat39907y@hookless123 smart idea
i've nearly trashed my windows partition because i simply hadn't tried a distro out in a VM first

About to install a new linux distro.
Re-checking if I am about to format the right partition for 25+ times.
I really hope I won't fuck this up.
