So its been some time sicne I've used linux as a daily driver and I started to switch from Win 11 to Garuda but ran across some issues that made me go back to windows until fully ready and wanted to see if I could get some guidance so when I actually finish the move back to Garuda.(I had to go back to Windows to do a proctored exam since I wasn't going to ahve a windows VM via virtmanager up and running fast enough.)
The two major issues I ran across were that since my secondary storage drives are NTFS I was running into issues with steam not wanting to load games and other issues of stuttering with accessing the drives. Without just wiping the drive and starting fresh, would it be logical to create a btrfs partition along side the NTFS partition and move the files over then have the btrfs partittion take over the free space once I get it done? I have like 600 GB of games that I cold redownload but it'd eat through most of my 1 TB monthly data cap. I tried the ntfs2btrfs conversion tool from github but it kept getting errors.
The oher issue is I kept getting timeout errors on lutris and with the XIV corelauncher(for FInal fantasy XIV) and the logs pointed to some issues with ipv6 beign related to the timeouts. As well as my net just being generally much slower while in garuda. I did my usual netwwork restarts and restarted the network adapter but none of the issues seemed to subside.
My hardware is
Any help is appreciated as I'm tired of being on windows and enjoyed the exprience of Garuda LXQT and KDE Dragonized(in VM).
Tbh, dunno too much about BTRFS. I have my storage partitions/drives as ext4 and only the nvme where I keep Garuda itself in BTRFS. With ext4 works like a charm, but you will have to edit your /etc/fdisk for automount to work I think (if you need help with that, ask here). You can copy from NTFS to ext4 no problem.
Your internet is slower in Linux? Is it via Wlan or cable? That's quite a strange issue, haven't heard that one before.
I do not use Lutris anymore, switched entirely to Heroic Game Launcher, works very well for Gog and Epic. Steam works out of the box, so no need for workarounds there.
So I could just create the partition on the samme drive and "click and drag" or terminal move the files from the partition then close out the NTFS partition? Assuming it works the same as ext4 of course.
Its via cable straight to router. It was timeout errors when connecting to servers and at times just seemed like I was being throttled or my jitter was through the roof. I might have to just try it again and see if the issue replicates.
The only issue I had with steam was the games would be recognized as installed once I added the folder to steam but wouldn't load. they worked on the boot drive formated to btrfs but the NTFS drives were basically "The game files are here and proton is installed" Start game then nothing.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
I don't know, they introduced a new NTFS-driver in the Linux-kernel, but a few months/years whatever back it was standard procedure not to reduce NTFS-partitions in Linux, so I would do that in Windows.
Well, maybe try making a Live-USB and see if it's still happening before installing.
The steam-issue... I don't know, as stated, new NTFS-driver in the kernel, so it could work now. But I wouldn't bet a dime on it.

Why don't you just post the template-required

It contains all the relevant information that helpers need.

I can once I get back home, but I didn't think the log would be relevant since I already uninstalled due to the need for windows to do my exam tomorrow.
You can do just about anything with Linux.
If not, there is dual boot, which is not officially supported by Garuda Linux.
I haven't noticed any differences in internet speed so far, but maybe it's not so good that it would be noticeable.
Is there a guide already? Should work exactly as in Arch Linux, no?
Even installing Windows second didnt cause any problems in my case. Though I do not know if 300MB UEFI as suggested by Calamares is enough for both OS.
260 MB is more than enough.
Just use Garuda Linux search button upper right
WARNING!!!
This is not a Garuda offical tutorial.
Garuda doesn't officially provide support for dual boot systems!
I have EFI boot system, for legacy boot It can be different!
Use my tutorial only for your own risk!
! Before you start to do anything make sure you backup your system first !
It's Recommended to install WIN 10 first with a Linux pre-created partition table and LInux after.
Why is it not recommend to install Linux on Windows:
Because win 10 install will overwrite/destroy …

Oh I have no intention of Dualbooting. I used to do it with Debian based distros but found myself never booting into windows so just wasted hard drive space in the end.. Especially if there's a risk of issues , I'd rather just use virt-manager with GPU pass through to minimize my usage of windows anyway outside of VR since I bout a Rift S that is supposedly finicky in wine.
I'd have to see if the proctor program could run in wine for future after I switch back this week. Its PSI's system if you have any familiarity with them.
Not sure if you wanted me to just drop the entire inxi from terminal so I dropped it in a pastebin

Very strange. An Intel-module should be and does get recognized by Linux-kernel (as your inxi shows) no problem. Under Windows it just works out of the box?
Yeah full speed no issues.
