As far as I'm aware there's currently no way to setup drives in RAID without wiping both of them.

I also haven't tried encrypting my home/boot drive but normally if I want to make a complete backup of a drive I use Clonezilla. It's saved my bacon many time including recently copying a HDD that was in the process of dying on me.

It might be easiest to just backup your home directory and reinstall Nobara to the drives after you'd set them up in RAID.

I don't have any NTFS drives and didn't use that drive for Steam games

My main backup drive is internal/Sata but I cloned it to an external USB one after I started noticing issues with it

My bad I'm reading this all off my phone rn while using a live boot on my PC

When I tried using Ls on my main install it just froze without giving any output, I even left it for over an hour and it didn't budge.

It's not the boot drive and is unmounted at the moment

Any data recovery I'm trying at the moment is from the portable drive I cloned the main one from. And yes I got actually important stuff backed in multiple places, it's mostly media and stuff like game saves I'm trying to get back.

I'm actually in a live boot rn copying as many files off it to other drives (and it seems to be working unlike on my main install?)

I am using fstab to mount my drives not KDEs mounting solution as I've had issues with that in the past.

But I still get a popup in the bottom corner saying the drive couldn't mount

And yeah even went mounting and going through the drive just using CLI it still freezes up, I dunno if there's a way to get an error log from Ls? Or something similar

To my fellow Brits, a VPN is NOT optional at this point you're just putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

Mullvad is £50 for a whole year, and you can pay by mailing cash to their office or buying a gift card so it's not directly tied to your bank account.

And where in the world you live.

I got a friend in Australia with a pretty similar storage setup to me, but he's paid about 1.5x as much as I did in the UK.

A lot of us did but not everyone knows about LibreWolf or Mullvad etc

Also can't help but think the average person will see the news about Mozilla's new trackers and tell themselves 'Well if I'm gonna be tracked anyway I might as well stick with Chrome'

I'm normally not someone who gets hung up on fonts but this one thing bugs me SO MUCH.

Sorry, that just sounds annoying and less productive.

It is but the "holy trinity" of Ui/UX design Apple, Google and Microsoft have been pushing this for years now.

My eye twitches anytime I go onto a webpage that's just a phone app in the middle of my screen with two blank voids on either side.

EndeavourOS has a pretty nice colour scheme and wallpaper going by default.

If I was forced to use a default distro look, it would be that or Linux Mint probably.
