Well, that’s the neat part. We don’t need to do that because what Flatpak does, doesn’t matter for them. People can just install Flatpak in their system and they have access to everything. I realise for system components it’s a different story, but that’s not the use case, it’s for applications.

Edit: typo.

And universal compatability. One repo, for all distros. That’s a big plus too!

Amen. I remember having to frequently reinstall the system to keep it performant. Thanks windows rot.

Different tools, different jobs. On my computer I also use btrfs, but on the family archive server ZFS (TrueNAS Scale). Right tool for the right job.

Snapshots like btrfs, yes. But I think every copy-on-write system can do that. But I don’t know about the rest.

The two biggest benefits are that it’s basically a finished implementation of btrfs (see data corruption in large pools and raid 5 and 6), as well as being able to encrypt and compress at the same time.

Plus, and I don’t know if this is a ZFS-specific thing, being able to group disks into VDevs and not just into one big raid.

Oh dear, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. I genuinely wish that people would stop using these pushover licenses. I thought it was like the LGPL, but sadly it isn’t. At least the base remains free though.

How so?

But we have OpenZFS, which is under CDDL (=LGPL). So it’s fine.

Edit: I was wrong, see comment below.

ZFS: 🙂

Be careful not to cut yourself on that edge.

My comment was a mirror of another user which got removed. And so it doesn’t make sense now. Thanks to the great modding team here. He didn’t say anything harmful, why censor it???

I mirrored your comment, because I think it works backwards. From the way it sounds to me, you started with your conclusion/opinion and searched for proof of why it is right. Real socialism and the Soviet unions were deeply, deeply flawed systems from the start, but only because some implementations failed, due to essentially the same problems as capitalism, does not mean the idea as a whole is rubbish. If you read the communist manifesto and “the capital” from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, you will read a brilliant critique of our modern contemporary system. There are some very fine ideas in there, and I think it’s dangerous to discard another perspective because some implementations have failed. The USA are the living proof of how two radically different systems can suffer from the same problems and collapse because of them. Why is it such a culture war against some genuinely very fine points that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels have made over a hundred years ago, which are relevant to this day?

Edit: typo. I apologise for forgetting about Friedrich Engels.

Is-ought fallacy? Understand me correctly, I like the EU system, but to pretend that it’s the end of history and that we’ve reached perfection in this space is wrong.

Definitely a taste that would blow you away.

Aged like fine milk in the sun.

TBO this situation is so ridiculously insane it might as well be.

Most of all, since I switched to GNU/Linux, I didn’t need to reinstall my system every single year to keep it performant, so after the first year it already felt stale!
