As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍

…and Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System!

    Btrfs FTW. EXT 4 is also pretty darn good. Windows is a joke not a good fit for my use cases and has privacy issues about many others. I just it very occasionally but mostly run Arch Linux for my needs. Windows Games are running better under WINE/Proton than native in Windows often now.

      The only reason why I am running Linux and Windows in dual boot is because of Valorant and the Office 365 suite. Otherwise I would already be done with Windows. Linux is just amazing.

        Even with Gnome a lot of times you can get by using about 2GB of RAM at startup. Windows hogs 4, especially win 11.

          Got gnome running on this chromebook with 1GB of ram. Had to set up ZRAM and it was fine. Well as fine as Fedora linux can run on a 1GB chromebook
