I want to be able to format my system without formatting my home, I know I can keep them seperate partitions but I would prefer if I can have dynamic sizes of each, can I achieve that by creating a sub volume for each? Would I be able to distrohop without removing my home while keeping the sizes dynamic? I never sat up a BTRFS before so I'm clueless

So I got a new HP Victus 2023, and I want to install Fedora on it, it has an RTX 4050 and has win11 preinstalled, my last laptop was a 2014 Toshiba and I only had to disable secure boot for Linux to run, is there something else to disable before installing Fedora ? Maybe TPM?

I've installed xone and xboxdrv.

The controller vibrates on plug in but the LED stays off, if I hold down the Xbox button it boots in Bluetooth mode.

Xboxdrv reports no controllers found.

lsusb reports the controller ~~and it has a file in /dev/js0 (or something similar).~~

Update: there's no js file in /dev/input

retroarch reports detection of Xbox controller on plug in.

I added my user to input group.

My system is up to date.

I installed the system with the XFCE build.

The controller works as intended on Arch, Windows and Android via USB and Bluetooth

Update 2: I installed jstest-gtk and it's not detecting the controller at all

I installed LXDM and LightDM, I couldn't login from the DM in either cases, so I decided to run LXQt using startx which worked, except I couldn't sudo from the terminal emulator inside LXQt, while I was able to sudo normally in tty, I've tried enabling elogind, nothing changed, my user is in the wheel group and my system is up to date

I have the following migration:

(Schema::create('user_images',function(Blueprint $table){ $table->id(); $table->binary('image'); $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id'); $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users'); });)

And the following corresponding model:

`class UserImage extends Model { protected $fillable=[ 'image' ];

public function user():BelongsTo{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}

}`

I am trying to create new UserImage records with UserImage::create but it is always failing, I am sending the image data using curl:

curl -v -F image=@$1 $URL/api/users -H "Accept: application/json"

I have tried so many things but I got different SQL-related errors, I am not sure how am I supposed to encode the image data to get them stored, I know that accessing $request->image returns only a temporary path of the image on the HDD.
