Cool design.

“Put it in shady environment”. I’ll leave it in south London then…

Yes, but that’s because of the development for the cosmic desktop. After they finish it supposedly this summer it will follow Ubuntu again.

PopOS has the best support for Nvidia. It’s basically plug-and-play. Mine is the RTX 3080.

Amateur. At a previous job, I always needed to tell the interns the same thing I need to apparently tell you. Eating the worms in the salad is completely optional.

It’s a cult.

Everything is flawed, there is no silver bullet. But again, it’s still a massive improvement over what we had previously.

And universal compatability. One repo, for all distros. That’s a big plus too!

I bet the EMI from that abomination could warm up some soup for you, in the right spot ofc.

Amen. I remember having to frequently reinstall the system to keep it performant. Thanks windows rot.

Different tools, different jobs. On my computer I also use btrfs, but on the family archive server ZFS (TrueNAS Scale). Right tool for the right job.

Snapshots like btrfs, yes. But I think every copy-on-write system can do that. But I don’t know about the rest.

The two biggest benefits are that it’s basically a finished implementation of btrfs (see data corruption in large pools and raid 5 and 6), as well as being able to encrypt and compress at the same time.

Plus, and I don’t know if this is a ZFS-specific thing, being able to group disks into VDevs and not just into one big raid.

Oh dear, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. I genuinely wish that people would stop using these pushover licenses. I thought it was like the LGPL, but sadly it isn’t. At least the base remains free though.

How so?

But we have OpenZFS, which is under CDDL (=LGPL). So it’s fine.

Edit: I was wrong, see comment below.

ZFS: 🙂

I’ll keep that in mind next time, thanks.
