Make sure the uuid matches the uuid of the home partition you want, you can list uuids with blkid I think, big noob here too I just spent my last week trying to figure out why it wouldnt mount my boot partition and the problem was the UUID…

I Will spit out what i think cause this threads are full of words and empty of content… Almost any Linux distro is good for starting out … Make sure it has a nice manual and community Ubuntu, mint debian or something similar… Vs code Is a Microsoft fork of vs codium an open source app, to avoid telemetry just use vs codium… Remove adds can be done in different ways in my opinion add bloock on Firefox is a good start… File explorer are good on any Linux distro just learn how to use one … If u have a document u should probably save it in the document folder… in your user home …

Yeah i agree I torrent only occasionally and I haven’t ever received an ISP angry letter but that’s sounds right to me …

The only thing I never understood is if I use a VPN my traffic is passed encrypted to a remote server somewhere else but from there on its unencrypted so the servers owner ISP should notify him about my inlecit traffic and it make sense he will notify me back so what’s the point in relocating an angry letter… ?
