Hey guys! I am here writing a blog about a small personal experience I will have to endure for a few weeks until I can get a new HDD for my laptop. Now before you ask, yes I already have one ready. I just have to travel up to Connecticut to get it from the person who has it for me which is a tad difficult being a 15 year old teenager. Anyway, I am going to be running EVERYTHING I do from a flash drive for a few weeks. The programs I run include but are not limited to:
) I already have Linux up and running and I am working on installing Windows Vista as my main Windows OS because it is lightweight compared to 7 and newer and it is MUCH smaller in size meaning, I can hold everything I need to on my small 8 GB partition. As for Linux, I am already using almost all of the 6 GB partition and I still haven't installed Unity. I don't think it will be possible at this point. I have VS Code and Google Chrome installed at this point on Linux. I could probably install Minecraft with the remaining space which will also require Java. However, I will not be able to play single player as I don't want to push limits on filling the 6 GB. I'm at about 4.9 GB with what I have and I have to keep Google Chrome's data cleared. I am honestly considering going full incognito mode so Chrome doesn't fill my disk with a few GB of data. As for Skype and Discord, I will use the web apps. No point in installing the desktop apps on such small space. And also as for Steam, I will just have a few games such as Geometry Dash and KoPaP2 (Knights of Paper and Pen 2). Anyway, in a few days, I will post another update on how I'm doing. Something else for you to note is that I am using a USB 2.0 flash drive. Anyways, I hope you have a good day and as always, happy hacking!
