I'm wondering how this actually works. I don't think our IT team would ever allow it, but even if they did, you'd have to be able to run everything M$ (Teams, excel, etc), onedrive/sharepoint, windows specific software like CAD, Bluebeam, use Chrome-only software like Autodesk stuff -

It seems kind of dumb to even do that, since you'd be locked into that M$ ecosystem anyway. But I'm curious if anyones done it.

Yes, it is my post, and I am trying to find a reason why it won't work. Sadly, without such a solution, it will be impossible to use many Internet services without having an Android/iOS.

Hello,

so I have quite a few drives in my desktop, but the main one that really lags my system down is a 12TB (seagate ironwolf, yes i know..). It seems to spin up and down often, then whenever I open a file in nemo I get freezeups when the drive has to spin up.

I know my 2 issues, it's an ironwolf, and I have it formatted as NTFS (because when I got it I was moving from windows to linux and kind of needed NTFS to still be there for windows. But now, I don't have a way to offload it all to reformat as EXT4.

Is there a way to keep it spun up for longer? My power saving shouldn't be doing anything with drives but i'm unsure.

I'm on Mint (yay noobs)
