[20:45] <wonko> I'm back! Installing Ubuntu Studio as we speak! Was choosing ZFS potentially a bag idea is should I be good with that?
[20:48] <OvenWerks> wonko: I have not tried ZFS
[20:48] <OvenWerks> I like that it is selve reparing
[20:49] <OvenWerks> self repairing?
[20:50] <wonko> selve? :)
[20:51] <wonko> A quick Google gets a phoronix article where they tried it vs ext4 on 19.10 and ext4 was mostly faster. Which is very sad.
[20:51] <OvenWerks> SOme how I a not surprised
[20:52] <OvenWerks> However, with modern ssd, it is probably still able to keep up with a lot of audio channels
[20:52] <wonko> It's better than ext4 on sequential
[20:53] <wonko> But gets murdered on random
[20:53] <wonko> I'm pretty tempted to just reinstall with ext4
[20:53] <OvenWerks> one channel is sequencial, two is no longer... 20 is as random as they come.
[20:54] <OvenWerks> I still have ext4
[20:55] <wonko> Yeah, I'm going to do that. Now is the time to change that. :)
[20:56] <Eickmeyer[m]> ZFS isn't built-in to the kernel and is loaded as a module, so it's no surprise that it's slower.
[20:56] <wonko> Well, the installed crashed anyway, so that's a sign. 😁
[20:56] <OvenWerks> Could do XFS for everything besides media storage I suppose
[20:56] <wonko> That's why I really only use zfs on a real os
[20:57] <OvenWerks> real OS? hurd?
[20:57] <OvenWerks>  ;)
[20:57] <wonko> Solaris!
[21:01] <wonko> So after, what, 8 months the results are in. Screw Windows.
[21:24] <OvenWerks> I went through that in the mid 80s I think (maybe it was msdos)
[21:24] <OvenWerks> then again around 2003
[22:20] <wonko> It certainly made some things easier
[22:20] <wonko> But I think the trade offs with better for me in the other direction
[22:21] <wonko> s/with/work/
[22:47] <OvenWerks> Back in the late 80s I ran a BBS as did a friend of mine... I ran OS2 and he ran win (3,*)... I could go away for two weeks and come home to a running system.... he had a timer that powered it off/on every day.
[22:49] <OvenWerks> Then in the early 2000s my wife got a windows computer.... After it started sending discusting email from people in her contacts to other people in her contacts, I switched her computer to linux.... we have never gone back
[23:34] <wonko> Windows has gotten a lot better since then. It's still not great though.
[23:35] <wonko> And it's mostly little annoyances, not anything major
[23:35] <wonko> But they all add up
[23:50] <OvenWerks> studio-controls has changed config format... again. It allows saving a database of all devices that have ever been plugged in.
