just do it, resizing a partition is no risk and you can probably repair it if it fails

People say it's risky dualbooting in general like this, but I wouldn't worry at all

Backing up should be seca, even if you’re not raping your partitions. I dualboot linmint on my thinkpad and, because I’m a retard, no matter what I tried I couldn’t increase my home partition’s size, even with 100gb of free space. Ended up nuking the dual boot and the grub to reinstall because forum answers didn’t work

you can do it, but you should finish setting up your Windows before you ever start doing linux. Sometimes Windows installer wipes linux partitions when you have it on the same drive. I hate this shit so I just use a different drive for linux

I heard about wincux wiping your dualboot file randomlu, but also that its pretty simple to get it back. I find myself increasingly niggermad that youtube doesn't load any of my music and blocks my IP~~ roughly 2/3rds of the time I use it so I'm thinking of just YTdlp-maxxing on an OS with an actual resemblance of privacy.

My freetube hasn't gotten Invidious to work for months now ever since I started using it, I thought every single invidious instance was a DNB as soon as more than ten people starting using one?

Nadeko (default one on my extension) works good without getting blocked on 720p. Sometimes 1080p works. It used to be limited to 720p for bandwidth reasons but not anymore.

In the menu for switching to a different instance NerdVPN is the one at the top and that ones works easily with 1080p, probably even higher resolutions. Both of these instances are proxied by default.

Tiekoetter is a decent instance but doesn't have all the features enabled.

Selfhosting would be great for 4k, but you've either gotta host with a residential VPN, or use your raw ass IP which is what I'm trying to avoid. But that would still be good at for preventing being fingerprinted, or just to get the invidious menus which I find are better for checking subscriptions.
