  • Depends. Slower desktop machines XFS.
    Standard desktop XFS, if it has a smaller SSD, Btrfs.
    Home server ext4/XFS + ZFS. Generic servers at work ext4/XFS, backup/storage servers ZFS.
    Database server, experiment with ZFS with compression enabled - ratio 2:1, but encountered problems (probably a bad HBA model), standard ext4/XFS.
    Hosts with virtualization, small server - XFS, big server - ZFS (technically a ZVOL).







  • Ex CS student. I’m on 100 % Linux, even back then.
    Huge advantage in the Linux/Unix, networking labs.

    The main issues were Matlab (Octave is kinda ok, but must be tested before you submit your project),
    FPGA simulator - Altera (no alternatives, but it can be run on a Windows VM),
    3ds Max - must be run on bare-metal Windows (maybe GPU passthrough to a VM will work),
    some old weird software,
    C getch() on Linux.

    No problems with MS Office, I can run whatever I want, just exported it to the PDF.
    No heavy formatting in drafts helps with a group project.
