I have done basic programming in HTML, C#, Python, and probably a few other “niche” applications that are really only borderline programming, if at all (like editing JSONs, scripting, etc.). I’ve gotten roughly to the point of making a custom calculator or other basic application, but generally get stuck (and therefore bored) once I run out of clear instructions. I’m not good at learning skills by myself (I.E., without a teacher or other guidance), but have had success learning complex software with commercially available workbooks/textbooks. I tend to do poorly without structure when learning things, hence the need for a workbook.

The problem with “de-bloat” (the one I am familiar with, the one Mental Outlaw spotlighted a few years ago) is that it’s deprecated and Microsoft actively works against debloating software. If you’re familiar with some script/software that works in 2024, I’d be glad to hear it.

Man, those guys who down voted you have no sense of humor. You made a sex joke in response to my video game piracy joke!

Alright, I’ve used your code, sudo mkfs.exfat -n LABEL /dev/sdb1

but the console returns this

exfatprogs version : 1.1.3
open failed : /dev/sdb1, Device or resource busy

exFAT format fail!

what’s the problem here? I’ve cleared out all storage on the drive, and made sure that it isn’t opened in the file explorer, and it shouldn’t be reading/writing anything because it’s empty.

thanks for the help btw

Sorry if it’s a noob question, but isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick without installing? The file is currently on the Mint install I used to torrent it, along with my other daily-driver things.

It was already split by a fit Latvian girl of a Yarr-harr, fiddle-dee-dee persuasion, if you catch my drift. I really am afraid of fucking something up, so I’ll try other methods before splitting it further.

When right-clicking the drive and selecting “properties”, the filesystem type is stated to be MSdos
