Should one use btrfs today? Nobara seems to have it as default in their installer. I don't know anything about it, am not a very technical user, want things to work with no hassle.

Today my work machine graduated from Windows 11 to Ubuntu 24.04. The hardware hasn’t changed. I would have preferred Kubuntu. They gave me ext4 instead of btrfs. But my wishes there are nice-to-haves. What they gave me is a huge step!

@ribby però vedi, a sputtanare il sistema sono bravi tutti, è saperlo rimettere a posto senza formattare che riescono in pochi. Ho piallato l'intero #gnome dopo passato a #kde e quando il package manager mi diceva "programma X facoltativo per pacchetto Y" io a fine rimozione li reinstallavo.

Btw, come hai fatto a incasinare il sistema? La consapevolezza è il primo passo per la risoluzione (o anche gli snapshot #BTRFS)

But I don't trust the failed HDD anymore and ordered a new one

BTW: #btrfs was fixing read/write errors when the HDD failed and I did not loose any data ...

Fun stuff: During operation, one HDD in a 4-disk #btrfs raid1 setup completely lost its gpt partition info. After unmounting, I tried to fix it with #testdisk but it found several unknown partitions and the whole disk seemed unfixable. But then I recreated the partition with #fdisk and ... could luksOpen the partition and mounted the btrfs raid1 without problems :)

I just found https://fedoramagazine.org/update-on-hibernation-in-fedora-workstation ..

Can anyone please confirm whether this will work in my case?

I'm converting my SteamLibrary partition from #btrfs to #zfs, because replication seems to be easier than teaching #rsync to handle those #wine / #proton files.

While i'm restoring the backup, i'm watching @jay talk about rsync. 😉👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3UzOrEtMYI

Gentoo Linux on my mini PC: Encrypted root + BTRFS with subvolumes + OpenRC + Limine bootloader. Its a start! ✅

Distro-hopping now on pause. Month of March is all about Gentoo. Plan is to take this base system and build it up to a lightweight desktop with Wayland + TBD window manager.

Next up: Learn more about Portage/emerge.
