  • Flying bugs often can’t fly when their wings are wet. They go in for a drink, get wet, then can’t get out. If there were some dirt on the edge, they could swim out and dry off, but a glass isn’t made of dirt, so it’s harder to get a grip on vertical glass or glazed drinkware.

    Wine and sweet drinks are even worse, because the bugs are attracted to the scent, and they often don’t have as much surface tension as water, which means the bug can’t just land on it, and when they fall in the liquid fills their respiratory system (basically little holes in their exoskeleton).

    This really depends on how you installed. Some partition types are easier to resize than others. The most important thing to do is backup everything important before you do anything.

    Then boot to a live CD and you can use something like gparted or KDE Partition Manager to delete the NTFS partition and resize your Linux partition.

    If you have a spare drive with enough space, it’s a great idea to take an image of the whole disk using Gnome Disks. That way if anything goes wrong, you can restore to the point you took the image.

    Look up a tutorial on how to resize specifically your partition type (luks, ext4, btrfs, etc) with KDE PM or gparted. That should inform you of any caveats you should be aware of beforehand.
