Khaled: Another one
Please fucking explain why this is a problem. I have a folder with movies on an external HDD. I want to move them to a different subfolder. The first twenty worked fine without any issues - as expected. Then I get this error, and it doesn’t tell me why in a human language that can be understood by humans.
So, I’ll go ahead and ask here. Do any of you have any idea wtf this is? I’m on Fedora 38.
EDIT: Wait, it has actually moved some of the folders and files that it tells me it can’t move. So now it’s basically copied the files…??
EDIT 2: Not to be a dick, but I think I’ll boot into Win 11 and see if it handles it any better. BRB!
EDIT: 3: LOL, Windows moved the shit without any questions. Now you know what I meant with the TITLE.
EDIT 4: And as expected, the community did not like that their God OS failed at such a simple task. As a Linux (Debian) user for 16 years, and a current Fedora user, this is proper cringe - but also expected.
EDIT 5: I’m so sorry for the actual adults around here who try to help, but it looks like Reddit has indeed arrived.
EDIT 6: Lemmy in a nutshell? Actually a bigger echo chamber than Reddit? How ironic.
EDIT 7: This is my blog now
EDIT 8: So I had a sandwich, it was pretty good, but need more salt
EDIT 9: Pretty sure I just invented a new type of Twitter
EDIT 10: Got a cease and desist from Musk, he must feel threatened by all the hate in here. He offered to buy it.

EDIT 12: Whoever owns “Edit.com”, reach out to me. I think I’ve got something

EDIT 16: I use Arch, btw
This seems like a standard dual-boot issue where you probably didn’t disable Windows’ quick boot (I think it was named “fast startup”?). So you’ll basically have problems while using an NTFS partition, doesn’t matter if it’s an external HDD.
So for best results, you should use Linux partitions with Linux. Linux can handle NTFS but you shouln’t expect it to be a native experience. You wouldn’t have this problem if your external HDD was ext4 instead of NTFS.
