Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
they should do a few releases where they run a temporary transparent filesystem change as part of the update process so they can collect telemetry on any failures, before upgrading all their users

yeah, this is not like Apple going from hfs+ to apfs

it would be pretty wild if they had upgrade-in-place for xfs or ext4 to btrfs

btrfs can do this. transactionally, even.

Btrfs' in-place ext4 conversion thing worked well for me. Don't know what OP means by "transactionally" in this scenario though

e: I suppose if the switcheroo on the first 1MB is atomic then the conversion either works or doesn't if interrupted. If OP is referring to that then it's true

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, after nineteen and a half years of semiannual GNOME 3 releases, you can rearrange items in the "start" menu equivalent AND restart your device without using the shell or the equivalent of registry hacking.

why would you use the app grid when it has a search interface?

this isn’t Windows, when you mash the Windows key or ram the mouse cursor into the corner and type the name of the program and press Enter, you get the program, not some Bing results page

you actually can undo it, the conversion process leaves behind a sparse file (in a read-only subvolume) that points to all of the ext4 data and metadata, that can be used to turn the disk back to ext4, all of the data that you have written which is not referenced by the ext4 fs is unaccessable/destroyed after converting back though of course

there were some discussions the last year or two about this process not working so well with recent changes to the btrfs code/disk layout though, i think that was fixed but "convert in-place from ext4" is not really seen as that important a feature anymore

e: you can undo the conversion unless/until you delete the "ext4 filesystem data" subvolume to reclaim that space

in 99.9% of my experience that's what you get on windows 10 as well

sometimes it gets a bit confused if you "overtype" something you frequently open (eg. "vis" "visu" visua" and "visual" get you "visual studio code" but "visual s" gets you "visual studio 2017") but has a common partial name with something else but I'm going to chalk that up to lovely awful ~*machine learning*~ bullshit

Also the visual way to reboot is to click the power icon and then three options pop up: power off, logout, and restart. I guess the Gnome team thought a dedicated reboot button was easier?

This way people are way more likely to accidentally hit it on the server that has a gui for some reason

I thought Red Hat dropped support for butter in version 8.

quote:

Btrfs has been deprecated
The Btrfs file system has been in Technology Preview state since the initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat will not be moving Btrfs to a fully supported feature and it will be removed in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The Btrfs file system did receive numerous updates from the upstream in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and will remain available in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 series. However, this is the last planned update to this feature.
