I think War of the Rohirrim is the closest we’re going to get.

Not all who wander are loss.

Fair enough, though Linux Mint also didn’t really know for sure what that partition was (other than assuming Windows because it was probably NTFS).

Disk partitioning is always a risk if you don’t know what you’re doing (and sometimes even when you do) which is why it’s always good to have backups!

I wouldn’t blame Windows for this one. In this case, this is likely because the Windows partition table wasn’t updated when you changed your C: partition, so Windows legitimately thought there was filesystem corruption because the size didn’t match its partition table.

You should always used the currently installed OS to free up space first, so it’s aware of the change. Then run the installer and install to the free space you made.

Or better yet, use separate physical drives for different OSes.

You say that as if it’s an excuse. No program should ever overwrite an existing filesystem without explicit consent from the user.

Better than Windows just straight up overwriting your Linux boot partition on an update.

Start making room for GitHub.

Just use curl

Right, that’s more accurate.

This is not slop, this is political misinformation disinformation. Call it what it is.

Slop is annoying, but it’s just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.
