[QUOTE="vishalrao, post: 2479768, member: 15724"] Thanks [USER=91963]@kiran6680[/USER] for your input. Interesting to see you have been using btrfs for so long since its early days! I only temporarily tried it out, was never brave enough to daily drive it. Send/receive is used for backups? Swap I earlier used to keep a separate swap partition common for my multiple OS installations, then later on I simply avoided any swap, but after reading that linux loves to swap I read about simply doing apt install zram-tools and edit /etc/default/zramswap configuration and you are quickly up and running with swap in memory to save some writes to SSD. I think I prefer btrfs over other modern filesystems because it has checksums instead of journaling which again saves some writing to SSD. I've also read that noatime can detrimental for some workloads like databases? So relatime is good. Compression helps alleviate SSD write amplification apparently which is the only reason I enabled it, not for any space savings really. My main computer is now wiped clean with fresh penta-boot installs of Win11 canary (just in case needed for things like firmware updates) and KDE neon, elementary, neon plasma 6 experimental and opensuse tumbleweed gnome, (all btrfs now) so these cover my preferred desktop environments too. Going forward I'd like to daily drive KDE neon now that I've also figured out running Win11 with KVM qemu. Windows is boring now and annoying too with all the adware, nagware, bloatware. [/QUOTE]
