| lotuspsychj3 | good morning | 04:12 |
|---|---|---|
| * SamuelMarks goes brb | 19:21 | |
| lotuspsychj3 | o/ | 19:21 |
| SamuelMarks | ok so the consensus is that I backup everything and reinstall Ubuntu but on a different filesystem that supports snapshots | 19:22 |
| SamuelMarks | ? | 19:22 |
| cbreak | there's https://docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/v2.3.x/guides/ubuntu/noble-uefi.html, which looks reasonable. I followed https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubuntu/Ubuntu%2022.04%20Root%20on%20ZFS.html though | 19:22 |
| * SamuelMarks record for most OSs on one machine is 5 | 19:22 | |
| cbreak | SamuelMarks: that's not my proposal for solving your current problem, it's my recommendation for avoiding it in the future. Or at least possibly avoiding it. | 19:22 |
| cbreak | I've had macos, windows and linux on the same. All different SSDs though. | 19:23 |
| lotuspsychj3 | backups are also a good idea :p | 19:23 |
| cbreak | Yes... | 19:23 |
| lotuspsychj3 | how fast are clean installs on ssd's these days | 19:23 |
| SamuelMarks | I've had SOlaris, FreeBSD, Windows, Linux, macOS (specifically hackint0sh Mac OS X) | 19:23 |
| cbreak | (if you want to use ZFSBootMenu, make sure to not use a separate dataset for /boot, put it onto / ) | 19:23 |
| SamuelMarks | lotuspsychj3: everything important is public on my github anyway :P | 19:24 |
| lotuspsychj3 | good | 19:24 |
| SamuelMarks | https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs - ok so maybe I can hack this together | 19:25 |
| SamuelMarks | I've got a free 64GB partition let me try and get Windows and Linux installed there and if that works I'll incrementally move the data across to that until I have one big 1TB partition | 19:26 |
| cbreak | SamuelMarks: last I've seen, ZFS on Windows is very alpha | 19:27 |
| cbreak | I wouldn't use it there. Even ZFS on MacOS is not as stable as on linux. (And I've used it on MacOS for a decade or so...) | 19:28 |
| cbreak | well... I would have if I'd still boot MacOS) | 19:28 |
| SamuelMarks | so btrfs then? | 19:29 |
| cbreak | may murphy have pitty on your data | 19:31 |
| cbreak | that thing isn't even stable on linux I think | 19:31 |
| SamuelMarks | ok I need to think if I can be bothered risking everything ntfs2btrfs | 19:32 |
| cbreak | you actually need windows? :) | 19:36 |
| cbreak | I never really used it beyond a few games while using MacOS, and now on linux, every game I've tried worked just fine in proton or lutris | 19:36 |
| SamuelMarks | cbreak - yeah I do cross-platform development | 20:08 |
