I’m running ext2/ext3/ext4 since 2002(?)… Never had a problem! But I’ve lost lots of data using reiser4, xfs & xfs, specially when blackout happens. If you don’t have a no-break/not using a notebook, and you have important data for yourself, I’d stick with ext4. I actually didn’t notice thaaaat much of performance boost, when using fast HDDs, SSDs & Nvme between any of these formats!
Stick with ext3/ext4
That’s why you should set a (12h-24h tops) lease time on your DHCP…
I don’t know about fedora, but when you do that on Debian, using apt, apt-get or aptitude, is super easy to fix it…gotta learn your distro’s tools
PS: just a tip, if you have no no-breaks, never use xfs/reiser as a filesystem
Don’t switch distros when you face a problem; if you’re rocking Mint for some time, awesome! You are missing nothing, if you don’t jump from one distro to another. I’m rocking Debian since 2003! 🫶😀🍺
Debian + MATE Desktop! Lightweight + fully compatible with games/Steam!!!
MATE terminal
Gnome & Plasma are so “awesome” that I use MATE instead; even things like EvilWM, WindowMaker, Enlightenment are better than gnome & kde
Started in Brazil, at home, in 1998, using Conectiva Linux (a Brazilian version of Red Hat on steroids); migrated to Slackware in 2000-2001, and then to Debian, in early 2003. Still using Debian in 2024! 🧡🫶🍺 I use Linux for everything, from desktops/multimedia/blender/daw/games (I used to play WoW on Linux back in 2004-2005; hahaha; was a pain to tune it + wine) to routers, to servers… I loved my old Linux mobiles too (Nokia N900 & Nokia N9)! My N9 is still working (but I don’t use it anymore)! 🧡
I use Debian for everything; from games to servers! The best distro, by far!
Open a X terminal, and type: nvidia-settings
Go to the screens menu, disable the monitor, accept, enable it again and accept…
Happened on mines, a 200Hz one and it worked!
Don’t spread lies; Wayland is not the default on Debian; nor on Stable, Testing, Sid or experimental
Because Fedora is a distro for multimedia desktops (being nice to Fedora); not for a server…
Just… DON’T!!!
Basically the same about the last 20+ years or so… I use Linux since 1998 (Slackware); migrated to Debian around 2001-2002; still using it in 2023. The 2 only Linux distro I can stand are opensuse & arch. For me, fuck red hat/fedora/Ubuntu… Same bugged shit as Windows! Btw, fuck Flatpak & Wayland too!
Tried to use a distro that was not Debian!
I’d used 2 HDs, 1TB each, Western Digital Black ones, in raid0 back in time; it really helps when it comes to loading times. But, if you can afford, try raid0 with SSDs nowadays; the performance will be way better!
Just try to have a small /boot partition outside of the raid block!
You know you can just write: stable or testing on your /etc/apt/sources.list repository config, instead of the distro codename, don’t you?
