That’s ironic considering the magic word is basically shouting “balls”

I run btrfs on every hard drive that my Linux boxes use and there’s the occasional hiccup but I’ve never run into anything “unrecoverable.”

I will say that compared to extfs, where the files will just eat shit if there’s a write corruption, because btrfs tries to baby the data I think there appear to be more “filesystem” issues.

Typically when there are “can’t mount” issues with btrfs it’s cause the write log got corrupted, and memory errors are usually the cause.

BTRFS needs a clean write log to guarantee the state of the blocks to put the filesystem overlay on top of, so if it’s corrupted btrfs usually chooses to not mount until you do some manual remediations.

If the data verification stuff seems more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth you can turn most of those features off with mount options.

I’ve had btrfs go into an error state because of a bad write before, but it was pretty easy to recover from

Yea a surprisingly small number of people don’t know a git remote can literally be any folder outside of your tree, over almost any kind of connection.

I thought about doing a forge but realized that if I was the only one working on this stuff then I could do the same thing by setting my remote to a folder on my NAS.

This is why I like playing games through proton on Linux and the steam deck. Being able to “pause” an unpausable game by hitting the power button is great.

What do you mean by personal package manager?

What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse

It depends on whether those dependencies are shared with other programs.
