Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't brain cell never renew itself?

Yes, first you need to resize the partition to accommodate the new OS. Usually 40-60 GB is good enough for minimal linux installation if you didn't do any gaming or other massive applications. The resizing can be done in windows using disk management utility baked into windows, or some other partition manager (easeus, magic tools, etc). After that, linux can be safely installed in the free space as a single partition.

Now, sometimes the bootloader is fucked, but it is quite easy to fix. In fact, if you use grub, it usually runs os-probe for you to check for any other OS. So sometimes, fixing it is as simple as rerunning grubmkconfig. But there are other times where it is not as simple. It will vary depending on what happened and too long to list here. Arch Wiki usually covers a lot of the topic so you could try searching there, especially on the topic of boot sequence.

Lastly, if you need to move the partition, the data already inside will need to be moved too. This can take time depending on the size. But it is doable and safe.

If, later down the road you want to remove either OS, you can simply remove the partition after moving the data first. Linux can mount ntfs natively so no problem there. On windows, there is a program called ext4 explorer or something along the line to browse and copy from linux filesystem (which is usually ext4). Don't forget to remove the boot information too after you're done removing the partition.

Now there is also the other suggestion to use a live environment but I didn't suggest it since the experience can be lacking and more hassle in and of itself.

I am well aware, but it is bullet proof as in they couldn't restrict the OS from outputting audio somewhere else. For lossless DRM breaking, I'll leave that to the more technically skilled person. I am more of a developer than a "hacker"

Holy shit you got me thinking using ESP as a bluetooth audio receiver, but instead of playing the audio, it records it. Tedious sure, but I think it is quite bullet proof. Headphone jack also works if you have a soundcard with line level input.

Diving suit... Neon Genesis?

I think the language is fair here since there are a lot of developers working on chrome. The language enabling mistakes like this is the fault because the sheer size of the project itself makes it unlikely any single person understands the whole codebase in detail. But then again, the C++ version used also matters since modern C++ also has tools to avoid footguns, but chrome predates those tools so shit is already set in stone.

And hence the problem without theming. Taste is subjective. Saying GNOME is ugly AF and the best looking ever in the history of GNOME is both valid.

Do one but with bear. It is trending right now!

LMAO, must be fun when people asked that you are the sole employee at valve/steam

Yep. Can't wait to overfit LLM to a lot of copyrighted work and share it to public domain. Let's see if OpenAI will get push back from copyright owner down the road.
