Does Manual dual boot setups usually format the Windows EFI partition?

Hello everyone. I am in the process of performing a manual installation of Fedora with a Dual Boot setup with Windows 11 on the same drive.

Windows 11 has already been installed. I installed to its own individual partition, leaving the majority of my drive as an empty unallocated partition to use during the fedora installation.

At the final stages of the installation, the installer notes that it will be formatting nvme0n1p1, the 210 MB EFI drive, which I understand is the windows boot loader as seen below.

This does not seem right to me. I thought this would prevent any attempts to boot into windows at all from Grub for a dual boot system.

The following is the screenshot of the installer's storage configuration and mount point setup. I have not made any changes to any of the windows created partitions after installation.

Here is the output of lsblk from the live installer

Should This be considered expected behavior, and is good to proceed? Thank you for any assistance on the matter

[Longines Spirit Zulu Time] Is this expected QC from Longines?

EDIT: Thank you for all your suggestions. I managed to improve the hour hand by using the GMT hour adjustments. We'll have to see if it sticks long term.

Hi everyone. I recently was gifted a Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm and just noticed some QC issues. I've contacted Longines and I'm waiting for a reply, But I wanted ask here too.

The two QC issues I've noticed was.

  1. the GMT bezel is slightly missaligned to the left

  2. The minute hand is about 12 minutes behind the hour hand. They dont stack perfectly on each other at 12:00 where the hour hand reaches the top at around 11:52.

This is my first "Luxury" Swiss watch and first truth GMT so I have no frame of reference of the expected quality. But I can confidently say that none of my Seikos, Timex, and Citizens were this bad.

Thank you for all the input.

Is this Missaligned bezel expected QC for Longines?

Hello everyone. I was recently gifted a Longines Spirit Zulu 39mm and finally unboxed it. While I am thrilled to own it, it looks like the GMT bezel insert is slightly missaligned. I'm not sure if it is visible on camera,.but in real life, the top arrow is to the left of the 12 hour mark, not dead center.

I've mostly owned Seikos and Citizens, and this is my first GMT/rotating bezel watch so I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

Can anyone confirm if this is normal? Thanks.

Why does NCDU and Gnome Disk Usage Analyst report different storage ammounts?

Hi everyone. I am using Stock Gnome Fedora 44. I recently noticed that my 2TB SSD is filling up.

I used Disks Usage Analyst to see that I only have about 200 Gb left of storage as seen below

https://preview.redd.it/lman16111j8h1.png?width=959&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcbcc1453723d99c2276d62527f8275e776b1770

However, When I actually go into analyze, I only get about 800 Gb of content(700Gb home and the rest)

Home Directory

sudo ncdu / 

Also only reports the following

--- / --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  740.2 GiB [###########] /home

I'm very confused as to why there is so much storage used but not shown properly. How should I go about looking for my missing storage?

What cases will fit a VK63 31.5MM dial?

Does anyone know what the actual dial diameter for common VK63 cases are? I found a reliable local dial maker making custom engravings I needs at a good price, but only makes 31.5mm dials.

​

Does the Watchdives WD1861 Speedmaster homage case fit the 31.5mm?

​

And will other case's listed as 32.5mm(seems more common than 31.5mm cases) still fit the 31.5mm dials?

I started developing skin irritations and rashes whenever I wear my Citizen Zenshin Chronograph. I noticed that.

  1. Only the inner wrist gets irritated.

  2. Skin irritations happen after about 4 hours of use.

  3. It takes a couple of weeks for it to clear up.

  4. This started a few months ago, even though I've worn it everyday no problem since May of last year.

  5. No other watch/bracelet material causes this.

I heard Titanium doesn't cause skin irritations, so I'm curious to see if anyone else has this issue. This is my only titanium watch so I think the material is the only possible reason for this behavior. I do work in an environment where I am exposed to trace amounts of copper, aluminum, and Graphite dust. Could this possibly react with the Titanium in some way?

I understand that characters may hide their true feelings(Arc 4 Beatrice) or intentionally make it hard to understand (Arc 4 Echidna) but time and time again, it feels like these people are just talking in riddles for no reason until Subaru finally has enough and demands a straight answer.

As much as I love reading the novels, it's really starting to be annoying. You're wasting time for the characters and us talking like that.

Like in Arc 10>! was it that hard to clearly explain why you killed everyone Crusch? A simple: "I killed them because they were traitors due to this and this and this factor. I determined this due to my Divine protections..."!<
