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.

Actually, I want to backup my system as I'm new to Linux, there is that I will break the system. So, setting up my system from ground again due to some silly mistake I made is tiresome. Also I have separate Storage drive for personal files.
I'm afraid about the compatibility of BTRFS ( not like system drive need any compatibility ). Does it have a good community support as ext4?
?
Thanks man. you rock.
I learned a lot. Now, I'm planning to use BTRFS in a VM first to understand it fully.
What's
dfthough?😅 Is it like cli file manager.The problems you mentioned regarding the remaining space left on BTRFS, they occur on GUI file managers too?
🥲
How do you manage this though?
I take advantage of the free disk space savings and don't worry about disk space much. I'll clear out my download directory and maybe some caches when my disk usage grows beyond 80% (as reported in GUI tools). Running
duperemoveacross my drive every now and then also tends to help a lot without deleting anything.If I do run out of space, there are a few interactive terminal tools that'll point out the biggest files so I can delete them and save some space in a pinch. I practice, I just don't really think about it much.
Thanks.
Snapshotting is a feature of BTRFS file systems. Timeshift will manage said snapshots. BTRFS file system is required.
Thank you bro. I'll try BTRFS.
