Anyone tried and succeeded? Not too awful plodding through the resizing? Tips to avoid destroying a partition and having to reinstall the os?

OP asked “how can I accomplish goal X?”
You responded “Goal X sucks, you should accomplish goal Y instead!”
That’s not exactly useful.
No shit, Sherlock. I’m not trying to be helpful. Fuck Windows, Fuck MS, Fuck Billionaires.
They can avoid needing to repeatedly reinstall the OS by selecting a more stable OS.
And if they’re having trouble with their car they could just hire a taxi. But they’re trying to fix their car so telling them to hire a taxi is useless advice.
They said OS, not Windows.
They don’t need to reinstall the OS to resolve this issue though, unless they absolutely fucked their paritions.
Which is why Microsoft couldn’t automate a fix. It’s incredibly easy to fuck your partitions to hell and back, especially through Windows. Too many conditions to check for and try to handle automatically.
Fun fact: Windows won’t allow you to delete any EFI partition (that is the only one I know of/tried) unless its through
diskpartwith a specific override/force option.But then again, I somehow nuked my recovery partition by accident at some point as well.
Arch is not a more stable OS.
No, not Arch. But maybe Mint.
Yeah, I would second the Mint rec.
