    This is AI slop. Notice how repetitive yet low on information this site is? This exact template is what Gemini uses for making a web site.

    Also, if you are using an older SSD, eMMC, or SD Card, you should use F2FS.

      You are dead on. I hate this, if I want this sort of trite shit I can just ask ChatGPT. Instead people now take AI slop and make articles about it so more AIs can ingest it and spit it back again. One step closer to Dead Internet.

    Since ZFS isn’t listed here, use BTRFS with snapshotting. Wrecking your install is a thing of the past. And if you go with something like Tumbleweed it auto snapshots every time you enter into an admin task.

      It is such a shame that ZFS isn’t a straightforward option on almost all distros.

        Yeah, it’s too bad there basically isn’t any distro around anymore that provides this as a simple checkbox during the installation. Now you have to run a live distro, set up ZFS, start a chroot, bind /proc and whatever to it and then manually copy the actual distro files to the ZFS datasets. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

          For gaming, it is said to be slower in comparison to ext4. I’m personally not chasing FPS, but I know a lot of people doing so.

          My gut feeling tells me, that all the data integrity checks are better used for real important data, and not for some media streaming (I’m using ZFS in corporate context).

          I’m going to guess it’s because of some linux native things. I remember source engine games used to have issues with non-ext4 filesystems (or maybe it was just workshop stuff as I still have left 4 dead 2 on a separate disk), but I’m pretty sure that’s been fixed.

          Been running BTRFS and XFS partitions for years, so it’s certainly a rare issue.
