Questions about new PC build.
-
i use mint and i upgraded my cpu from i5-9600kf to 7800x3d, and ofc mobo and ram too, and i had to reinstall. the system booted up but everything was very stuttery and slow
-
Are you installing the system on this hard drives? If not and they're just attachments for additional storage, then you should have no problem.
If there's an OS installed on them that you want the data from and you didn't separate your /home folder, you'll have to copy that data to another drive, remove/replace the OS installation, and then copy the data back.

Others say that I can drop my is drive into a new PC. I'll back it up and try that, if not I'll just do a fresh install.
-
Thanks for the info. I'll make sure to double check all that before. I have another question. If I edited fstab to add mounting hard drives on boot. Will I have to redo that when I hook my drive up to a new mobo? Or will the drive UUIDs and mount paths be the same?
-
It depends. You should read up on it, but if you mount via UUID, /dev, or otherwise "out of your control" naming, you may have issues.
Best to check out liveusb to see what's happening.

I'm not sure about NVIDIA drivers. Otherwise, it depends on what kernel your distro is using; if it's Debian, there's a chance you might have problems, though you could install the backports kernel, which I do on my Thinkpad E16.

I'll just do a clean install and re do it lol.
-
That's reassuring. But based off the mixed answers, I'll just do a clean install to reduce headache.

back it up and put it in. classic.

-
TBH I didn't even try it, I just did a fresh install lol.
