Laughs in NixOS, smiles in btrfs snapshots.

Btrfs snapshots not always work tho), i tell this story for *th time on lemmy but my fedora 38 btrfs broke completely from update to 39 and when i tried revert to 38 with help of btrfs snapshots, what came out is weird mix of 38 and 39 and when i reverted again, my whole ssd on which fedora btrfs was installed, this ssd locked completely, on hardware level, even though it was brand new, 2 weeks of usage by me, i fortunately repaired ssd myself and flashed lmde6 on it, but avoided btrfs and fedora after that

Yeah, also a bit wary of btrfs. I sure hope some day bcachefs can be the true cow filesystem in Linux. There is hope, it is pretty good already.

NixOS definitely solves the issue of rollbacks the best here. And FreeBSD.

[-] gramgan@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

FreeBSD has rollbacks like Nix?

[-] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 1 points 7 months ago

It has the best integration with zfs, and has had that for a long time already.

Was using btrfs then in manjaro, broke my laptop because btrfs seems to be shit at handling loss of power cases. Switched to good ol ext4 and nixos, never looked back since.
