3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

I am missing something. Where else would you install Windows but the HDD? (I haven't installed windows in 20 years so I don't know)
I think they are talking HDD vs SSD.
Old person thanks you
If you've not yet tried putting an OS on an NVME drive, it'll change your life. Or at least speed up your computing.
An SSD ? It's about disk speed. The HDDs speed limit make win 10 sluggish as hell. While not as bad, even Linux (mint) is starting to be affected by this.
I used both on HDD. They are both slow but while Mint is predictably slow and stable, Win10 can grind to a halt unexpectedly.
My pc on win 10 took 20 to 30 min just to to start up. 🥲
