For pure performance you should be using md and a basic journaling file system like ext4 or xfs.

`wall` is boring unless you're in some University computer lab where somehow you have permissions to use it across the network. And in that scenario it was always more amusing to juvenile me to be able to finger someone.
It's just a different distro, not a fork of the kernel which is what fork means to me in this context. It's a Debian descendent so I doubt you'd have much trouble bringing in any normal software even if they didn't have packages for it. It may end up on a forked kernel one day if Emperor Torvalds has his way, but we're not there yet.
You're correct, but I feel any such question needs to first get a question back of "do you actually need to eke out those few extra percentage points?" Very few domestic scenarios would legitimately make it worth the tradeoff.

What pisses you off so much about it? fontconfig is rather massageable, but no one really bothers, because no one really cares to effortpost. On my box, all my primary fonts are Microsoft developed. I'm sensitive to deficiencies because of typesetting / graphic design background, and "standard" Linux (eg. Debian, Gentoo, Arch) is fine by me for most things.
I’m not talking about typefaces. I’m talking about bad system-wide antialiasing of text that appears blurry and with inconsistent kerning. I’ve heard people say that text on Ubuntu and Manjaro looks better, but I think they’re also referring to the font itself. Shit, even on modern Windows all UI text looks like shit, like it always has been.

Get a high-PPI (at the very least 215 PPI) screen, turn off subpixel rendering and the LCD filter, only low hinting. (if any) Leave antialiasing on. Enjoy vector fonts for the first time in your life.
Or go with bitmap fonts and turn everything off. Fair enough tbh, that will always be sharp. LCDs of any density are made for bitmap fonts.

They serve two different purposes. I would always suggest ZFS over btrfs for storage drives. Zfsbootmenu allows for ZFS root drives too, but it's a bit of work. Btrfs is okay, but the tools, syntax and way it handles volumes/snapshots is not intuitive at all.
Mergerfs literally creates a view onto multiple filesystems. It's not a filesystem in and of itself (if you wanted to, you could use mergefs on a ZFS and btrfs volume to view their contents in one directory). Mergerfs is in userspace (FUSE), and although you can run it without root, it's not recommended, and will give you a warning. Overlayfs is not FUSE based and is much more powerful (allowing you to have an upper directory with copy-on-write changes) and much faster, but once again .. different use cases.

You can have a ZFS root drive without bothering with special bootloaders, I'm doing that right now. Just give your kernel the argument "root=ZFS=pool/dataset" and as long as you've installed ZFS properly your kernel will pull in the module, unlock the datasets if you've got encryption turned on, and mount them wherever their mount option says they go. You could also set the mount options to legacy and type out mount locations in fstab if you're feeling old-fashioned.

I have a SteelSeries RGB keyboard and mouse that is set to turn it's lights off when the computer goes to sleep. Sleep mode is a little iffy with reconnecting to the displays connected to a Thunderbolt dock, so I was wondering if there's a way to make Linux make the keyboard and mouse think the computer is asleep when the display is turned off?
I don't have software to control it as I programmed the lighting under Windows.

Have you tried using OpenRGB?

Last time I checked it didn't support my devices. It seems to now so I'll check

It can't see my keyboard or headset, and I don't see how to make it turn the lights off when the display is off and on when the display is on. it might be easier to find a way to sleep certain usb devices when the display is off and wake them when the display is on - I got a power button I could use anyways

Your devices are retarded including your pc. You have to cut the power or they stay on. Thank the USB standard for this.

There's definitely a sleep signal. When I don't use the thunderbolt dock the keyboard can still wake the computer even when the RGB lighting is off.

Yes it's possible. I know on Gentoo (and I'm almost positive you can do it elsewhere but the thing I read was on the Gentoo wiki) you can convert ext4 to btrfs.
TBH. After spending the time to set up a proper btrfs file system on Arch. With snapshots using snapper, that I can boot into with grub. It just isn't worth the time and effort. Imo. I just ended up wiping that install and redoing it with ext4. I didn't want to have multiple snapshots of my home and root filesystem anymore (if you ask me thats what is necessary if you want it to be useful for reverting back your system to a usable state if something actually goes wrong).
I haven't done it. But maybe an actually ok alternative for it that, at least I might personally like more is setting up ext4 with time shift. With a partition for the snapshots. I haven't done it so I haven't looked into the entire process but that is the basic idea of how you would set it up for ext4 it needs its own partition to store the snapshots.
Personally I just use ext4, and xfs now.

Tbh the only benefit I see to brtfs is if you wanted to try different distros side by side sharing /home, without having to repartition the entire drive for each one. At least, that's the only thing that's making brtfs interesting to me.

I have noticed on gtk2 applications sometimes fonts can look a bit off. But generally gtk3 (which most things are now, and qt stuff seems fine), also when running hyrprland (Wayland) fonts looks pretty crisp. I imagine people saying that about manjaro and Ubuntu are saying that because they are using gnome with the default Wayland session.
Not sure what the exact reason is behind Wayland looking better. Probably something to do with scaling or just how images are rendered. But it is something I do notice in particular circumstances.
@Belisarius Cawl @ing because I don't want to make another post.
For the documentation thing. The site might not be as extensive. But the :help command in neovim has so much it's a huge task if you just wanted to read everything so I recommend using that if you ever want to find anything you can't online.
I think tj Kirk did a video where he read the entire :help thing and it was like 8 hours straight of reading.

Makes sense, thanks for the info. I’ve never utilized Wayland.

Total streetshitter death now.
Also, her Github is empty. No history whatsoever. Everything in her Wikipedia links to a single newssource and not a single Linux kernel mailing list archive. This smells of fecal matter and cow urine.
