It's fine. "Only 27GB" is hardly too small for the system, even a bloated system wouldn't take that much space.

But if you must have a larger partition I think a reinstall would be easier, resize the partition is possible but because of the encryption not a straight forward thing. I wouldn't bother really.

That's not the question that needs to be answered, first you must allocate enough space for you system partition, and whatever other system related partitions that you want to use, var, temp, swap, you get the gist, then whatever space you have left is your home partition. This scenario being a default personal use desktop ofc.

If this is going to be a BTRFS system then it also doesn't matter since sub volumes share the total space available dynamically.

Also if this is a modern hardware consider not having a swap partition and instead use ZRAM.

Well having a dedicated /home partition is the very minimum and pretty much default.

If you are interested in having a backup/restore solution for your system you are looking for BTRFS which uses sub volumes instead of primary partitions and is compatible with snapshot tools, those tools being Timeshift and Snapper.

I do think Snapper is the superior solution however it's also more complex to set up and requires significantly more prep work. Imo totally worth it.

I currently use it on my main machine Debian with BTRFS and Snapper and couldn't be happier.

As far as I remember adaway is the og adblock for android, it is available on f-droid and pretty much the only app that I used since ever, and one of the few reasons I still won't let go of rooted phones, https://adaway.org/

On top of that I would recommend you to run your own DNS server with unbound, add to that pi-hole and wireguard and you have your own pi-hole set-up on any device you want.: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/wireguard/overview/

Thank you, it was a lot of work and I wanted to escape from the grayscale themes.

This one?

Or check the repo for the walls, it's made to work with the light/dark modes of GNOME.

Also the art is from Ikhimaz.

From Deb 7 to 11 I used XFCE, since it's been a long time I decided to check it out the state of GNOME with the 12 upgrade, despite a few annoyances, to my surprise GNOME is actually great and by far the easiest entry point to a painless wayland set-up.

Everything else you can find on gnome-looks.

Extensions = [Blur my shell, covertflow alt tab, date menu formatter, default workspace, gradient top bar, just perfection, remove app menu rounded window corners, tactile, user themes, workspace indicator]

Thats it, hmu if I forgot something.

Not sure why you would want to specifically do that since you can boot from a normal graphics install and just use the shortcut ctrl+shift+F# to change to the TTY.

However if you really want to just edit you GRUB config and copy paste the the menu entry you want to duplicate, and to one of them add a "space" and the number "3" to the end of the line. This way one entry would boot the graphics mode and the other would boot directly to TTY.

The solution is found here https://www.linux.org/threads/grub-menu-entry-to-boot-to-tty.44508/ and perhaps a thread like this would better fit here !linux4noobs@programming.dev

From past experiences, windows will only work with the mode that it was originally installed with, so if it wasn't installed with AHCI enabled before and you want it to use now you will need to re-install windows with AHCI enabled in your bios already.

Not FOSS at least for now, but still very nice, love the customizations and the video player is a nice feature.

Is the canvas compatible to any of the mobile apps?

Still waiting for the new season of "For all mankind", started right after when the Expanse ended, right now I'm starved for a good scifi
