      SMART test

      Seeing how well Fedora runs on it?

      Was about to say the same thing.

        I might do that for testing as Windows reports nothing wrong till the machines starts smoking.

        The disk utility that comes with Fedora Workstation has a decent smart data & self-tests.

          SMART data will be the same. The OS doesn't interpret anything. It just reports.

            Windows doesn't report it as readily during install.

            Fedora however, says that the disk is toast during install and recommends not installing on that disk.

                Correct, it's an existing install that's been running for 1-2 years already.

                  Trying a forced 1809 install as the existing system can't patch.

                    Windows 10 1809 update is so slow. I could have installed four Linux boxes sequentially during this time.

                        Took 30 minutes to get from 88% to rebooting.

                        Still a long way to go.

                            I could write a new operating system faster than this.

                                i love cablers who don't mark data points. I love even more the cowboys who don't use patch panels and just 'krone' leads straight int the blocks. what a mess this place is.

                                  Not using SSDs?

                                  Still slow regardless of that though.

                                  It's a lot faster to fresh install 1809. And by faster, I mean like 99% faster lol.

                                      I can't even force it with the upgrade assistant

                                            Is it wrong I read that "thank you" in a passive aggressive and sarcastic tone? Seems fitting.
