Fedora is really good though. I’ve daily driven Windows, MacOS and Linux, Fedora is by far the best developer experience I’ve had so far. But then again, I tend to setup my devbox quite spartan, so that it just works.
- rollcat 2y agoDoes Fedora support ZFS (without building from source) yet? Filesystem snapshots is not something I'd ever give up on, and Btrfs still doesn't seem production-ready. Also - I'm done distro-hopping. The problem is KDE/Gnome- KDE is aping Windows (badly), Gnome is aping macOS (also badly). I'd list all of the problems but it would take an essay.
- spyke112 2y agoI don’t know, it’s my workstation so everything is in Dropbox/Onedrive/Github/Gitlab, making the machine itself ephemeral… Come to think of it I should probably get a NAS and mirror Dropbox/Onedrive onto, just in case.
- rollcat 2y agoDoes Dropbox or Onedrive keep hourly+daily+weekly+monthly deduplicated snapshots of everything that's happened on your machine, that work without any network connection? It's no substitute for backups (I use Borg), and syncing is good (I use Syncthing, I guess iCloud also counts). But snapshots should be ubiquitous at this point, just like having a "trash bin" was mainstream in 1995.
- spyke112 2y agoWell, I may be an oddball, but I never really find myself having the need for snapshots, I have a tendency to not really delete files. Once upon a time i recall Dropbox having versions?
- fc417fc802 2y agoI'm also confused when I see threads like this. For dev work I've yet to try a distro that didn't "just work". The only real friction I've run into is the tradeoff between stability versus package freshness but that's going to be a tradeoff with any software environment.
