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.

Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4...?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

I always go LVM + BTRFS these days. I simply love the versatility.

EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS LMAO, JUST USE BTRFS, I AM SO STUPID

FS is for nubz, do these instead:

Read

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdout

Write

dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sda
