@codewiz@globalcI'm using #btrfs for some time now. Mostly for subvolums and snappshots with snapper. Saved me a feve times allready. The only "isue" I had so far, was running out of space once.

@codewizThe actual isue was snapper not deleting old snapshots, so yes it was a litle tricky, and it doen't directly free the memory (it has to GC it).But it started almost normally (KDE other apps were quite buggy)Im keeping a closer eye on disk now.But backup recovery has never been smother.So I would still recomend it, if you are OK with learning how it works.@globalc

@codewiz @globalcJust deleting a snapshoted file, wonnt free its space until you also delete the snapshot. But creating snapshots is almost for free, in both storage and time.

@codewiz@globalcI can recomand snapper-gui, if they realy want to use btrfs AND snapper.If they don't, ther should be no isues, altough this way, btrfs would lose most benefits for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@kzimmermannI got quite the oposide feeling, in contrast to windows, Linux systems feel near immortal, like a vampire or so. Even if you kill it and destroy the hardware, it will resurect from a backup. You actually have to kill it and all the backups at the same time to prevent it.@metalune

@Linux4EveryoneTo be fair, it was very hard back in the day. Actualy it was about as horrible as on Windows. (Just for different reasions and devices)

@realcaseyrollins@lnxw37b3 @Moon I would recomdend to use the opertunity to switch distributions.Ubuntu will push you to use snappy, wich performs quite bad and has lots of other issues.If you don't want to "travel to far" from it, there are mint, pop OS and other ubuntu based distibutions which skip snappy.

@realcaseyrollins@lnxw37b3 @Moon I think the DE (KDE, GNOME, etc.) are most importent choice for "low end" devices.Also, newer versions offen come with performance improvements (on Linux at last).Arch is very lean and fast, but you'll need ways to recover from bad updates. (Backups etc.)Manjaro is said to be more relayable.

@lnxw37b3 @Moon @realcaseyrollins Everyone seams to overestimate the nessesare anount of twinkering with arch, you can twinker the hell out of it, but usualy you install your packages, as in any other distro, and are done.Twinking is sometimes nessesairy (like it was to get it running) but thats rare after that point.

@tk@lnxw37b3 @Moon @realcaseyrollins ~amd64 or so I think, was used to enable "experimental" 64bit support XDI also remember hours of reading up useflags, reconfiguring+rebuilding the kernel, and literaly weeks of recompiling to fix some abi's XDI never knew which applications would be usable today :(

@rs1linuxtoolsIts hard to beat a simple demo video to get the feeling how an (non terminal) application or system works.But its almost useless if you need to dive deep into the details.So it depends on what you want to learn.
