On Fedora, Btrfs has been the default for years now iirc. It’s modern and rock solid too (as long as you avoid Raid 5/6) and has some features I can’t live without nowadays:

• Copy-on-write (prevents file duplication)
• Snapshots (your systems broke? most easy rollback you will ever experience is with Btrfs in combination with Timeshift)
• on-the-fly compression (I’d recommend “–compression-force=zstd:3” as a mount option. Last I checked Fedora defaulted to using the lowest compression level, which is not the default, making you lose some gains. FYI about the “force”: btrfs by default checks whether a file is compressible or not, this is redundant to zstd, which does the same thing but quite a bit faster AFAIK)

I (unfortunately) have to heavily recommend against using Nobara, especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card. It’s an amateur distribution in the original sense of the word and also lacks a large community, neither does it have a company behind it.

This leads to a lack of proper QA and testing in general. It’s OK but I would not recommend it to anyone

If you want to go with a “traditional” distro, go with Linux Mint, simply the most solid out there. I’d also recommend you check out Bluefin, it’s atomic (meaning that you are basically guaranteed to always have a working system, even after upgrades) and quite modern

This is why – if you want to keep your extensions – you wait with upgrading to a new Gnome version until your extensions support it…

AFAIK there is no stable extension API, leading to breakage with every version upgrade

Its’ lead dev is also so full of himself, it’s insufferable

FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.

“Let’s point many completely different combinations of characters at the same file”

sentences dreamed up by the utterly deranged /hj /lh

I don’t think you understand what “open source” means then?

To put it simply: a programme using a license that guarantees certain freedoms.

Chromium uses such a license: the 3-Clause BSD license

please don’t insult the FSF like that by comparing it to the LF…

The FSF might be unpragmatic and (thus) often horribly out of date, but it’s neither opportunistic nor engaged in corporate bootlickery.

At some times it can even be dogmatic, but you can at least mostly depend on it keepig it’s spine and vision!
(even if I partially disagree with it, as it’s doctrine does not take political economy — and thus the root problem that is capitalism — into account)

Isn’t that objectively a false statement?

yk you can backup your passphrase-protected gpg keys in one simple copy/paste command?

We’re still preparing the notes for this release, and will post them here when they are ready. Please check back later.

This might be a good opportunity to try one of universal blue’s distros

They are kinda “just set and forget” atomic distros, improving on Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite with usability improvements

It has no large community nor an organization behind it.
Leading to a lot of trouble for me personally, it’s the 2nd month now (after multiple updates) that my Gnome wayland desktop hasn’t been working properly at all (like xwayland programmes displaying as a blank transparency, me not being able to start certain ones) and switching to X11 works but it’s buggy af and sometimes freezes for a few second

I suspect that it has been a problem with the nvidia driver after having updated it and I have never had those problems before

Don’t get me wrong Glorious Eggroll is doing good work but qa (due to size) leaves smth do be desired

I regret ever having switched to the amateur distro that is Nobara bc I was too lazy to set up Feodra a 2nd time after the Grub fiasco Arch (and thus my daily driver back then EndeavourOS) had lol

Will switch the second OpenSuSe Slowroll becomes stable

iirc with OpenSuse or Fedora, Secureboot works quite easily too
