Last time I tried to mess with Windows partition I tried to expand it to merge free space in my C:\ drive, but I couldn’t do that because Windows put the recovery partition in the middle, with no permission to remove it. Had to jump through a million hoops to get Windows to remove it.
I mean sure, Windows is easier in many ways. Not partition management. Anything but that. What a pain.
Ran into that a few years ago. I think I ended up fixing it by booting linux off a flash drive and moving the partitions around in that. It wasn’t to difficult after I just gave up trying to do it in Windows. Such a stupid problem.
I think I see a theme here. Doing fun normie stuff on iOS/ipadOS is easy. Doing technical stuff is usually completely impossible.
Doing technical stuff on Linux is easy as long as you know what you’re doing. Doing popular normie things on Linux is a bit hit-or-miss. Some things work perfectly, but other things are a royal pita.
Windows seems to be in between the two extremes in more than one regard. Microsoft seems to be working to find some sort of compromise in these things.
