Hmm, the years are a bit faded but first install of Redhat in 1996-7 somewhere as a short experiment, then Slackware, SuSE, LFS, Gentoo, and since then lazy with Kubuntu… Might switch again soon with the Snap fiasco.

The BOFH and his PFY are still helping their users…

Try sunglasses? But maybe other souls can still be saved from evil…

Disadvantage: you’re now using a browser from the biggest spy ad-ware company and killed web heterogeneity.

Try: Firefox from Mozilla-Team PPA

For a moment I thought you literally meant a penguin herder, I would be so happy…

That’s such a shame. ZFS has been rock solid for me for years while I hear lots of scary stories about btrfs.

Just a note, unless you have a very specific use-case you don’t want to do deduplication.

Yes, and it saved my ass a few times. Every computer I own now and in the future will have at least mirrored or raidz disks with zfs. On all desktops, laptops, servers and nas.

Even upgrading from spinning rust to ssd was easy replacing the disks one by one and resilvering.

The (k)ubuntu installation made it very easy to have an encrypted zfs rootfs but they may have removed it on newer installation iso’s, I’m not sure…

This is the best answer. I’ve been doing it for years at work. Dual-booting is just very inconvenient and WSL(2) is the worst of both worlds.

Install Linux on the machine and keep windows in a nice secure kvm-based cage where it can do less damage.
