  • Or better yet:

    • Run the live Linux environment, run gparted, wipe every partition of the disk
    • Reinstall Windows, wiping everything
    • Launch Windows, launch dskmng, shrink Windows by the needed amount (having another OS shrink it might break it)
    • Reinstall Linux, it should offer to install alongside the other system if there’s enough space


  • It is in the style of the original, where during Covid the page on “Migrating to the Netherlands” simply just started with “Do not migrate to the Netherlands”, before expanding on the Covid restrictions on place and what foreign nationals currently in the Netherlands are to do.

    On one hand: Now that’s loud & clear communication. On the other hand, “Just don’t” really ties in to the stereotype of Dutch directness/rudeness.


  • On one hand I want to upvote you, because OP will really have a much better chance at getting good support there.

    On the other hand I want to downvote you for just “forwarding their call” to another forum, instead of helping directly. (I’ve had bad experiences with unhelpful Linux communities where people basically just tried to find the quickest way to move someone out of their support channel)

    I’ll keep it neutral, I guess.
