DE, distro, filesystem.what gets you the most reliable daily driver that never breaks no matter what day, time or hora of the year? even if it has been on 24 horas straight.
WM: OpenBoxDistro: AlmaLinuxFilesystem: whatever is default (with backups, there is not a single fucking thing you can do to avoid hardware faults)
>>107614197Depends on the hardware you're using.
>>107614197dwm, arch, and ext4
>>107614197>Fedora SilverblueIt's the most reliable daily driver. Applications are Flatpaks, which you can mange with Flatseal for permissions and Warehouse to freeze or downgrade, if you need to. You can use AppImages, I recommend Gear Lever for easy management. And for Dev stuff, AUR packages or distro exclusive shit, there is always Distrobox.So basically all your user apps are seperated from your host system and even IF something goes wrong on your host, you just reboot and select the previous image. Like it or not, but GNOME is very reliable.>openSUSE LeapWith XFCE/GNOME, it's stable af (enterprise level) and you have btrfs + snapper. But I'd still pick silverblue over it.
reliability is hard to get with thousand different moving parts and I even managed to get a boot failure with an absolute minimal debian install minus disk encryption once (not a total failure, you could boot if you waited for timeout but there was no indication) so I say it's ok to have whatever you want as long as it's with atomic updates and reversibility/snapshots.
Labwc, Arch and ext4 has been pretty solid
>>107614197xfce, mx, etx4
>>107614197windows 7 or windows 8.1/server2012macosarch with i3 or sway arch with sway has been on for the longest for me personally. it can also updoot many times without restart.it was on for more than 230 days on 2 separate pcs once. updated without restart more than 10 or 15 times. as a consequence of kernel changes/old kernel, one forgot how to recognize usb kb, and both had forgotten how to mount usb drives long ago, so i had to restart.macos and the older windows could hold up too if you don't updoot the os at all. the wagecuck macbook has to be regularly restarted, so i can't get the same uptime with it.
>>107614374Is Mint XFCE stable long term or does it rot? I heard something from a YouTube comment that it slows down over time.
>>107614426also on arch i don't use any meme hipster filesystems like zfs or btrfs, it's just ext4 inside of luks
>>107614426windows and macos probably could hold up much longer than the linux if you can disable the automatics updoots, because you can still install and update 3rd party software (outside of appimages and such) on it without restart unlike loonix where you must updoot all at once to install sometime and it eventually can't do some things due to kernel update
>>107614443i don't know about mint, i use mxbeen using the same install for cca five years now, literally never had a single problem even for a second and it works as well as it did the first dayin fact it's so good i skipped 2 major versions and just can't be bothered to upgrade from 21
>reliable filesystem>no checksums
>>107614296why atomic (leap is atomic?) in this case? t. newbie
>>107614552>he thinks filesystems don't do their own checksumminglmfao
>>107614197windows lts, you are just never getting rock stable stability and reliability like that on any linux distro if you download third party programs, especially if you run shit in wine like vidya
>>107614772there are ones that do. does ext4 do CRC? I dont think it's a very good choice when the topic is reliability and you have cryptographic and near cryptographic strength algorithms with fast speeds. are you laughing at your own stupidity or something?
>>107614772ext4 doesn't and is recommended itt multiple times
>>107614257I use i3 but yeah pretty much. Everything else is for poseurs and trannies. /thread
>>107614197debian stable
