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.

So should ext3 be deprecated for the same reason? Seems it also has the 2038 problem.

E: Seams -> Seems
Thanks for that! which made me read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#ext4 Maybe high time for myself to learn more about ZFS.
I love ZFS but support for it on Ubuntu seems haphazard. It works fine for non-root drives.
I've tried running it as my root partition and just gave up after it fucked up my bpool dataset too many times.
Dis you use the ZFS setup built into the installer?
Yup. It booted fine but after a few reboots, bpool somehow got corrupted and refused to boot. It happened repeatedly after several reinstalls.
ZFS hits memory hard and sometimes can bring out latent deficiencies in that hardware. on non-optimal hardware its a bit of a hardware torture test in its own right.
having said that, EXT4 and XFS are wonderful unless you need zfs/btrfs.
Always run 3-4 passes of Memtest86+ on any newly acquired hardware/RAM modules.
Yeah, the current implementation from the installer never got beyond the experimental stage when it was first introduced. I saw there's a new "guided setup" in the 24.04 release notes. No idea what it entails yet. I think I've also seen a page for setting it up for / in OpenZFS'es docs. I might try it at some point.
