Um. Hi. I have… a lot of questions these days as a washed out programmer who burnt out in college.

1. How does Linux do Arch

First, I got myself an Arch Linux install cause being able to build the operating system with the pieces I need sounds very cool, but ngl… the Arch community scares me. So if I may…

  • Do y’all know where I could find help for this?
  • If I uninstall a desktop environment, do I get my settings back if I reinstall it?
  • Is there a safe ish way to repartition if I set root and home to different partitions?

2. Very rusty

I’ve been trying my hand at Rust recently. But I am not sure of what can it actually do.

  1. Can Rust make .exe programs?
  2. Does it get crazy over time?
  3. How does one use git with Cargo?

3. Windows

So I have a main build that runs Windows, but I have been thinking of switching to a Linux DIstro. One SSD for OS, one HDD for data, 16GB RAM, AMD stuff. Anything I should know?

Yes I know this is dumb but I dont know where else to ask… Any help is appreciated

    Update: I did not know a GParted ISO existed before this post! Thank you so much, the partitions are A-OK now! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
