  • First of all, thanks this r news for me. But I don’t think is a good idea to use the swap file in btrfs.

    It is supported since kernel 5.0

    There are some limitations of the implementation in BTRFS and Linux swap subsystem:

    filesystem - must be only single device
    
    filesystem - must have only single data profile
    
    subvolume - cannot be snapshotted if it contains any active swapfiles
    
    swapfile - must be preallocated (i.e. no holes)
    
    swapfile - must be NODATACOW (i.e. also NODATASUM, no compression)
    

    With active swapfiles, the following whole-filesystem operations will skip swapfile extents or may fail:

    balance - block groups with extents of any active swapfiles are skipped and reported, the rest will be processed normally
    
    resize grow - unaffected
    
    resize shrink - works as long as the extents of any active swapfiles are outside of the shrunk range
    
    device add - if the new devices do not interfere with any already active swapfiles this operation will work, though no new swapfile can be activated afterwards
    
    device delete - if the device has been added as above, it can be also deleted
    
    device replace - ditto
    

  • It depends, for a normal user? Ext4, maybe btrfs because in terms of stability is the best {but u lose some functions like the ability to make a swap file, wich today isn’t really that useful, but u lose the ability to make one). Want something really fast fort large files? ZFS, but if u experience an energy loss it could be really catastrophic.

    Ext in general is so good that even to this day android it’s still using EXT2, 2!

    It has been pretty stable, this is the only issue I have got since last year, but yeah I can understand ur reasons.

    Just buy/use AMD and get rid of problems, in pc I’m still using my rx490 and never got any problem since I bought it.

    Same, I’m still using my powerful rx 490 in desktop and not even once has gave me problems.

    I bought this laptop back when I was still using windows, a really good Asus x450LN, wich still allows me to play battlebit, xcom, openxcom, sunless sea/sky, and so on. Not even talkin about office work. So yeah, I’m gonna change it in maybe 2 or 3 years.

    For now ? Dealing with nvidia shenanigans. I have a GUI again wich is good, but steam is fricking dead, so yeah, hopefully I’m not gonna need to reinstall.




  • U want stability stick to debian, bleeding egde apps? NixOs.

    Middle ground? Ubuntu Rolling, u get reasonable up to day updates, and reasonable stability.

    And remember, the perfect distro is the one u configure, and personalize for u. The distro is only gonna make ur life easier in making it urs, but that’s all, I wasted a lot of time understanding this.

    It depends on what u wanna run, I use an old AMD A8-7600B, wich by today standards is less than a laptop cpu. But I run OpenMediaVault wich is just a NAS, so usually my cpu usage with 2 users at the same time is around %40-%60. I recommend u to use passmark as a reference, just tipe the cpu u have in mind + passmark and make thr comparison with mine so u can have an idea.

    Manually set up the local IP of ur machine in the router/modem, then in the computer (so everything is failsafe), then configure the firewall (I recommended ufw) and only allow the ports that u need in the necessary protocol, nothing more. Also, to be script kiddos safe I recommend to change the ports of everything that u can, in this case SSH, I don’t remember the usual port, but change it to something like 666, 999, 6666, u get the idea, if we aren’t the same as every other server in existence we r gonna be safe most of the time, disable password login and use an rsa key.
