Oh huh. Interesting. I guess my pie charts don’t make sense either based on when in the year I switched to Linux exclusively. 🤔

It’ll be 100% Linux next year for me. Windows running on physical hardware is no longer allowed in my house.

When you figure it out, please let me know.

Forgot to include the boot/system volume. It’s a lovely time waster when you’re dealing with disk images that are hundreds of gigabytes in size that have to be copied over the network. 😆

I’ll add Disk2hvd screenshots when I get a sec.

Situation gets slightly more complicated if you had multiple drives in your system when you installed Windows, of course. Installer might put system volume on a different drive, so you’d have to image more than one drive to get a working system. Might get a little confusing as to which volumes should go in which image. There’s a tool called GWMI that might help with that since afaik the volume guids don’t show up in the Windows Disk Management snap-in.

Edit: The promised screenshot. In my case, I knew the volume labelled SYSTEM resided on the same disk as my C: drive. Probably don’t have to include the recovery partition, strictly speaking, but I did.

Well before today, I’d never heard of virtio-win, and I’d never used KVM/QEMU for virtualization on Linux, and despite an error on my part I had a running VM by close of business. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh wow! Thanks for this. I’m learning.

Oh huh. Is that a QEMU option? I’m new to all this.

Indeed I do.

FWIW I had the same issue under Fedora 40 Bazzite. For a bit I was having to shut down to avoid the problem you describe, and then they changed something else and I couldn’t even shut down cleanly from within the DE. Things have been sooo much better since the upgrade to 41.

My Outlook stubbornly refuses to stop giving me email. 😑

Edit: Just checked Bleeping Computer. They’ve got the story. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-365-outage-impacts-exchange-online-teams-sharepoint/

I’m so sorry. I strongly suspect this happened to me as well. To this day I’ve never mentioned the evidence I had of her infidelity to anyone, because I’m a better person that she is. My former friends likely discovered this for themselves in due course.

Worst example is friend who, after being hospitalized for accident while car surfing, died car surfing again. I wasn’t present for either event.

Second worst is dude with head injury (unrelated) started talking about crystals and toxins and juice fasting. Called him out one day, and it was catastrophic. This one is still alive, at least AFAIK.

Third, divorce. You will find out who your real friends are when you get divorced.

Congratulations for being the only commenter who has actually tried to answer the question. That answer of course sounds perfectly reasonable. Please accept this gold star with thanks: ⭐

It’s my “most people rejected His message” meme moment. 😆

I guess it’s just like the neverending GIF argument. There’s a right and wrong answer but people are people.

I didn’t really say either of those, at least in the post. What’s your point?

Perhaps not precisely “sinjin”. Wikipedia gives the IPA as /ˈsɪndʒɪn/ or /-ʒən/ where the ʒ is the g in beige or the s in pleasure so it’s a bit more of a zh sound than a j sound: “sinzhin”

I sent a link to my local TV meteorologist. Will update if I hear back.

Rachel of Rachel & Jun made some for her cats. Her DIY stuff tends to be more helpful than most IMO since it’s not just “I made this thing” but “here’s all the crap that went wrong while I was making this thing”. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Me587OYbyRk&t=215

Consider crack cocaine as a safer alternative.
