Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

    I heard, this commercial distribution “Windows” still uses it. But this thing just recently got a (very limited) package manger. So they seem to be very late with adapting to current technology.

      On the bright side it only very rarely destroys itself when updating. However, some very loud foss distributions do it fairly often.

        It forces you to update and then works at “something something” for 5 minutes to 5 hours and then reboots and does the same thing again but after logging in, none of your applications are updated and also none of the system seems to be changed with the updates. You don’t even get proper status information during updates.

        Of course it doesn’t destroy itself when it doesn’t change anything …

          Oof this is only thing if you have the os on an HDD. I’ve had similar behavior on *buntu running off of an HDD.

          On an sdd or nvme you’ll never have stuff like this happen.

          There is an argument to be made for it being better ux to not have programs update without telling you. Winget isn’t perfect, but it can auto update your stuff if need be.
