Imagine defending this guy. I will never understand people who like influencers.

That’s literally what I’m saying; It’s fine as long as there wasn’t any unwritten data in the cache when the machine crashes/suddenly loses power. RAID controllers have a battery backed write cache for this reason, because traditional RAID5/6 has the same issue.

How’s the performance compared to other filesystems? Last benchmark I’ve seen it performed pretty poorly compared to btrfs.

I had a drive where data would get silently corrupted after some time no matter what filesystem was on it. Machine’s RAM tested fine. Turned out the write cache on the drive was bad! I was able to “fix” it by disabling the cache via hdparm until I was able to replace that drive.

BTRFS RAID5/6 is fine as long you don’t run into a scenario where your machine crashes and there was still unwritten data in the cache. Also write performance sucks and scrubbing takes an eternity.

I agree. There is literally 0 reason to buy anything from Apple when there are much better and much cheaper options that are already well supported by GNU/Linux. I will never understand people who will go out of their way to waste money on the next big thing from Apple only to get Linux on it.

On distros w/o systemd there is always syslog-ng. s6 also has its own log system.

It’s not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It’s really up to you and your needs.

Gallium-Nine also tends to be buggy if used with 32-bit software in particular. All the 32-bit games I’ve tried have problems with it. They usually work fine for the first 30-60 minutes and after that the framerate becomes unstable to the point where the game becomes unplayable. It happens consistently with Gallium-nine but not at all with DXVK.
