Well, here I am still quite surprised. It worked.
It took another while to boot but it did it and I got the desktop. And after just a few minutes of me setting off on my “let’s explore a bit hey”, a notification popped up about a restart to update. Okay, I thought, this is what I remember well.
So, reboot, and played around a bit. I even played Unreal Tournament 2004. Then I remembered about all those little precious NVME’s and SSD’s.
So I quickly shut down and rebooted back into the fresh install of EndeavourOS.
First thing I did was to make my little changes to the desktop (KDE), which I thought, “Windows doesn’t do this.” Which was kind of funny, and I can’t remember why.
A deep breath. I opened up Dolphin to find that all the drives were all still working.
So I played a little bit. No games this time. Just browsing and watching youtube.
I am now typing this up from within Windows 11 while in the background I am moving a couple of Terry Bytes of data to my external 3Tb HDD.
I’ll play Unreal Tournament 2004 shortly.
C Y’all
