Setting up an alternate root partition to test the upcoming #Fedora 37 beta while keeping a stable Fedora 36 system around just in case....https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-37-Beta-Next-WeekNo, I do not need a slow and buggy filesystem with O(1) snapshots, thank you. #xfs > #btrfs

Hmm... actually perhaps I should first investigate some these broken deps...python3-dnf is particularly worrying, and it would be hard to install updates without the updater 😅

Ok, I got much better results with --enablerepo=updates-testing.I guess it's because I already had newer versions of some of those packages installed in F37, and dnf hates downgrading things when it's supposed to be upgrading.

It's ironic that Fedora 37 Beta on track... with the main package of #GNOME 3 having broken deps!UPDATE: turns out that was caused by the gnome-screensaver package, which hasn't been updated nor rebuilt since Fedora 32.Was the screensaver deprecated due to some #Wayland idiosyncrasy? Is the screensaver hard-coded into gnome-shell now?I don't care, I use #KDE :kde:

All rpms finished downloading and my chroot is getting upgraded to the #Fedora 37 branch (while I'm comfortably continuing to use the current release).

I wouldn't be so comfortable if #systemd hadn't handled this edge case correctly:

So far, looks and feels exactly the same as Fedora 36 (a good sign).

@codewiz `>` in the sense of direction or comparison? I'm using #btrfs since ages now, and I migrated from Ubuntu to Arch and than back to Debian switching the root partition. I love the snapshots but I hate btrfs false full disk and rebalance. Should I evaluate again #xfs?

@naufraghi My last and final misfortune with #btrfs was 4 years ago, on #ArchLinux:https://mstdn.io/@codewiz/100195861259922125I'm sure btrfs has matured since then (especially since it's been the default filesystem for #Fedora for over 1 year now), but I'm still holding a grudge on it 💢

#XFS has been a flawless experience my laptop, my desktop and a few servers.It also performs better than other Linux filesystems on fast NVMe:https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-58-filesystems@naufraghi

Crucially, #xfs supports reflinks, which are simpler than snapshots and almost as powerful.@naufraghi

@codewiz the same impossible rebalance I hate too. I resolved with an external btrfs disk that once a year I need to plug, extend the fs, rebalance, remove. 🤷 Maybe a spare 100MB partition could work, but it's a shame that btrfs is in fact broken without some extra rebalance cronjob.
