Ext4 for everything when possible, because its reliable and proven. I’m looking towards Btrfs for my next system drive, as it is mature now and has good features. But I would use Ext4 for everything else still. For interoperability that doesn’t understand Ext4 it would be NTFS when supported, otherwise fallback to FAT32.

That’s the entirety of my knowledge and what I use when I have to format it myself. :D

Downvotes probably from snarky “arch btw” users that like to micromanage their system

Wtf. This is actually snarky for absolutely no reason. It could be anyone and you just pick out of the blue arch. And no, I don’t use Arch directly, but that has nothing to do with it (I would comment this if you mentioned any other distro too).

Did you actually report this post?

Rules

True, this is not a Linux-only-app community. The application in question is relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. Nowhere is a rule found stating the application must not run on other operation systems. Please keep this in mind.

My first few minutes trying out.

• Filter Gallery: The new Filter Gallery is amazing! I never used filters before, because the effects seem to be random if you don’t have a preview. So much better than a standard menu.
• Font Browser: And the new Font Browser is also amazing. Fonts are finally listed as a preview with the actual font. What’s cool is, it goes a bit beyond that and allows for custom text to display. We can limit the list to specific type of fonts, such as “serif only” in example. Which is terrific.
• Fast image clipping with the Shape Builder: I never tried this before, but its actually a great idea! If any pixel based image is part of the composition, then being able to use it withing Shape Builder makes the workflow even more fluid! Pretty cool.

Admittedly, both of these preview features are basic functionality of many other programs. So it’s more like Inkscape catches up on that front. But I’m not complaining here, just explaining that these are nothing groundbreaking. I’m personally not that involved, only created a handful icons. This new release is shaping up to be legendary (to me).

Everybody gangsta, until someone says I use Arch, BTW.

Yes, and that’s the point of Archlinux. It’s nothing special, at least in the way it is configured. You make it special. You build your distribution more or less. You are the opinionated one, not the distribution. I think what people are “obsessed with Arch” is, that you have to manage it yourself and you build it yourself. It is the philosophy that is appealing I guess. In example not much is automated. Stuff is described in the wiki and community and it is expected that you learn the stuff and understand and then do it yourself, instead relying on automated and preconfigured stuff from a regular distro.

On my main system I use EndeavourOS, which is basically Arch, but with some pre-configs and opinions, and comes with some automation tools.

I used Hibernation in the past (years ago), but nowadays I don’t. It also depends on the BIOS configuration and probably the motherboard. There was a period (on a different distribution and probably something different hardware, can’t remember details) when the Hibernation did not work. I mean Hibernation to suspend to disk and shutdown PC entirely. I’m actually curios if it works for me right now and will test it. :-)

Edit: Ah okay, it can’t work for me, because I set a very small swap. Never mind.

You can’t compare to the President Elections in the USA. The answers are very serious and with a huge impact, so people will choose wisely. And they are complete randoms. Compared to the question to nerds how happy they are in a rating between 1 and 10 and then connecting the happiness to the operating system they are using. It’s like asking how happy people are and then connecting this to the current president. Who said other factors didn’t play a role?

smart

Because they don’t want you to make the same mistake.

I think its bullshit. There is no way of verifying if this is bullshit or not.

Not exactly, I use EndeavourOS, almost Arch. But I use Firefox, BTW. I was more unhappy when I used Ubuntu and even more when I was using Windows before this. No idea what rating to give though. What even is 8/10 happiness??

Such polls / surveys are extremely questionable. I wouldn’t even know what rating to give, if someone asks me how happy I am. This is a dumb question to ask to begin with. Let alone everyone has a different standard to what 10/10 or 5/10 means. And then only 6000 (+ some) have been taken part.

I can’t believe this was a real poll / survey.

I had a discussion about this 1 months ago: https://beehaw.org/post/14768525 And decided not to bring it up again. :D

My argument is, from the eyes of the website you visit, the Steam Deck user would be identified as a desktop user. That’s because the browser you are using (most likely Firefox) and the desktop environment (most likely KDE) in the Desktop mode would be seen as a desktop. In short, yes, I think Steam Deck would be counted, but only if people visit the pages in Desktop mode. So not all Steam Deck users are counted here.

I’m Linux user since 2008 and as much as I want to agree with you, I can’t. Even if Mac is much closer to Linux with its BSD roots, I probably would choose Windows over Mac. Why? Because Windows is much more open and less restrictive than OS X. And there is the support and compatibility of Steam games (and games in general) in Windows. The hardware repair ability is terrible on Apple too.

Yes, Microsoft is bad, Windows is bad; so is Apple and OS X. I personally can’t live with the restrictions Apple has.

It does not mean that something happened with MacOS / OS X. If it stays the same and everyone else gets bigger, then the same gets smaller relatively speaking. Look at the dip for OS X in Nov 2023. Looks like almost the same amount of up for Windows. Also Chrome OS went a bit down and Unknown went up, only Linux stays the same.

So either something in their software changed or it was really a phase of people buying new computers and changing their OS. For a fact, I also build my PC in Nov 2023 (but stayed on Linux). Maybe that was a time of new hardware or lower prices, don’t remember exactly.

I didn’t think of it, because I always think or archive.org as older pages/versions. The problem is, is it updated to current? It’s a big site, so probably it will be. Good idea, I’ll check that next time through archive.org.

The question is, if they only evaluate the User Agent? This is an organization specialized into statistics, they know it can be modified too. The ad industry tries to track you and find out everything about you despite these modifications. Don’t underestimate them!
