Plan9, more or less, does its graphics through filesystems.

Debian

  • Say the current stable and testing version number and name clearly on the web front page. Actually put it on every single page instead of burying it somewhere. It takes no space at all and is stupidly hard to find of you're ootl.
  • Nicer installer. Make sure images with WiFi drivers and firmware are easy to find.

Also I wish every distribution had a wiki as nice as Arch's.

Learning to use autoremove will do that. I also like good old debfoster.

Nobody's been riled up. You need to go to Reddit for that :)

I could see if there's notes somewhere. Very plain desktop and laptop. Probably encrypted LVM. At least one was doing a lot of software builds with big system image trees and snapshots.

I remember there used to be Octobers.

My experiences:

ZFS: never even tried because it's not integrated (license).

Btrfs: iirc I've tried it three times. Several years ago now. On at least two of those tries, after maybe a month or some of daily driving, suddenly the fs goes totally unresponsive and because it's the entire system, could only reboot. FS is corrupted and won't recover. There is no fsck. There is no recovery. Total data loss. Start again from last backup. Haven't seen that since reiserfs around 2000. Found lots of posts with similar error message. Took btrfs off the list of things I'll be using in production.

I like both from a distance, but still use ext*. Never had total data loss that wasn't a completely electrically dead drive with any version I've used since 1995.

Nobody does, really.

Well, if it creams Linux... And I'd really like to see a Chinese giant break.

Yes. Got to admit mine just isn't as big as yours, though.
