Will installing windows on a separate drive break my current linux install?

So, i use linux, i don't have any windows install on my disk, but someone wants me to install windows on their HDD, so, if i plug said HDD on one of my sata ports and try to install windows 10 on it, will it mess with my linux boot? if yes, is there a way to prevent that without physically disconnecting my main drive? (my main is an nvme ssd, that's why I'd rather not remove it, already suffered enough trying to screw that in ther Edit: Fortunally i got to convince the person to bring their whole PC, so now i won't have to deal with this anymore! Thank you very much for all the answers everyone

changing the email on the email field on the settings menu doesn't seem to do anything so i wanted to ask to make sure

[Linux question] How to disable an I3 keybinding when on an specific application?

So, i just started using I3 through Arcolinux, it's working pretty nicely all things considered but i'm having one little problem, a game i play uses keys that are very close to a keybind combination that is set here and that makes me accidentally trigger it sometimes, and i wanted to know how, if possible i can make so this keybind is disabled while I'm playing this game, searching for a solution i found [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/8dovvj/disable_keybindings_for_a_certain_application_or/) thread on reddit (yeah, lack of better places, but hey I'm asking here now so it's an opportunity to get some info on here!) That seems to be talking about pretty much what i need, buut i have no idea how to create these scripts and all that and i didn't had much success on searching on how to do this kind of thing before so... a little help please? Is there any more efficient method, or something like that?

Will copying files from one external drive to another create write tasks for my machine internal drive? how does that work?

So, i use linux with kde and was copying some gigabytes of files from a smartphone to a usb device and while doing that the system monitor kept showing that it was writing some mb/s and i got curious, is said writing happening to my ssd or is it just talking about the usb drive?

Does having swap memory damage SSDs too much, what do you think about it?

Is it possible to make audio from both channels come out of the "front left" on pulse audio?

I hope it's fine to ask this here, I'm using endeavor os with KDE and got some little speakers for my pc, they however only seem to play sound from the "front left" channel, is there a way to make pulse audio send all audio on it? Like, mono mode? I couldn't find anything that does that... Edit: Found a solution! Like i said before in a comment on this post turned out i was running pipewire-pulse, so i could use pipewire solutions! tried easyeffects and it perfectly fitted my needs, thanks for all the responses everyone!

What do y'all think about the floorp browser?

Yeah, that's the question, found out bout this browser some time ago and got curious on what do people around here think about it, seems to be open sorce and firefox based so... Does it have a general good reputation among those who know it? (Floorp's oficial website: https://floorp.app/ And their github page that is in English: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/)

How would be the feeling of putting your hand inside a liquid that's 100% incapable of transferring heat?

This question studdenly appeared in my mind, A hypothetical liquid that is completely incapable of transferring (consequentially holding too, right?) Any heat in any way, how would it feel to touch it? We feel cold when heat gets out of our body and hot when it gets in right? Would it just feel perfectly neutral?

hmm, hello! A little question here

Well, yeah, hello! I'm new here, just created my account, i have experience on the fediverse but lemmy is still pretty new to me. I don't really know if i should be posting this here, sorry if not, but i cant think of somewhere that looks much better, but anyway i wanted to make a little question, like, the classic thing with android apps, i know it's everything on early development but like, after creating this account i was going to login on jeroba on my phone, but it said the instance needed to be at least on lemmy 0.18 in order to login there, i get that, but majority of instances don't seem to have updated yet too soo... what are all you guys doing while the update isn't here yet? i tried another app here (lemmur) but it couldn't even recognize the existence of this instance so whatever. Well, what i wanted to know as i said was what are y'all doing, just using the web version, or maybe there is some other app that still works on 0.17.4? Thanks for reading! :)
