From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You must have never used OpenSuse TW

Is there a good/easy way to defrag a btrfs filesystem after 3-4 years of continuous use? At this point I can't tell if my SUSE install was slow all those years ago or it's just been getting worse over time.

Yeah, i run fedora right now, but its not the best distro for everyone, I'd point begineers towards mint and heavy customisers towards arch and void

[–] PR_freak@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I have been using arch for 2 years but couldn't be bothered anymore with things breaking and needing to debug them

I am now rocking mint and I have absolutely no complains except for the not very polished UI
