Been using BTRFS on a couple NAS servers for 4+ years. Also did raid1 BTRFS over two USB hard drives connected to a Pi4 (yes this should be absolutely illegal).

The USB raid1 had a couple checksum errors that were easily fixed via scrub last year and the other two servers have been running without any issues. I assume it’s been fine since they’re all connected to a UPS and since I run weekly scrubs.

I enjoyed CoW and snapshots so much that I’ve been using it on my main Arch install’s (I use Arch btw) root drive and storage drives (in BTRFS raid1) for the last 4 months without issue.

What’s the alternative to doing this? Is it safer to read the script first and then execute it as

sh ./install.sh?

A lot of my motivation for starting random useless side projects is unfortunately “because I can” and the learning experience from using a new framework or library.

Thank you for your insight, DrDickHandler.

Well I just switched to KDE Plasma last week and I’m pleasantly surprised just how many things are configurable via a menu and how well it runs on Wayland With a Nvidia GPU.

I used to despise KDE Neon, and used Gnome for a bit, but I don’t think I can go back anymore until their design philosophy changes again.

Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.
