Let me start with Linux and Unix Basics.
Unix started on Multitasking background and Universities shared scare resources. Computers were hard to find and mainframes as big as flat fridge housed them.
Administrator to service the resources and users with password protection came into existence.
Now cellphones and computers are ubiquitous and they eye-scanner passwords and everybody is paranoid.
Coming to KDE pain, it took a long time to install.
To test integrity of my partition table and to see how ?btrfs or butter file format (its redundancy to satisfy Red-Hat, I do not like) and I have 25 partitions including booting EFI. Most of the old kernel distributions do not support EFI and the image cannot be run on a USB.
I am not interested in snap-shotting and I want file integrity checking at boot time which Debian Gnome does a good job of it.
While doing updating I erased MX Linux and Netrunner both KDE versions.
Instead of those versions I have now installed Debian KDE which I am beginning to to be impressed with.
By the way, I started Linux with Mandriva and Suse on a KDE desktop.
In fact, MX Linux went into FREEZE MODE while I was running Suse Linux Tumbleweed on the BOX Utility. That was a disaster. Home folder had 9GB and Suse was 4.7GB big and the Box Utility reserved 4GB and there was no room to manipulate.
My regular home folder has 50GB and reserving 100GB if YOU are a Netflix guy a good ploy.
Since I have at least 4 distributions running in my 298GB SATA Disk, recovery is simple. Just open the folder and delete the ISO Image.
Another point about KDE is it cannot handle or delete a big file of 4GB which Debian handles just sweetly.
Well I do not like KDE graphic intensive "boot panel "and i need to rectify that now.
Overall, ext4 is a good choice for most users due to its wide support and good performance, but btrfs may be a better choice for users who need advanced features like snap-shotting or data redundancy. It is important to carefully consider the specific needs and requirements of your system before choosing a file system.
