I honestly don’t know what’s going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.
Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes
I do like Linux, but I’m kind of amused at the insistence that ext4 volumes on HDDs don’t ever need to be defragged. Microsoft said the same thing about NTFS and look how that turned out. Fragmentation is a consequence of having finite storage and can’t be solved by just making a better FS. Throw seek times in and ext4 on an HDD does, in fact, benefit from regular defragging.
That’s not true. Yes there’s differences in how FS’ handle files. ext4 doesn’t need regular defragging because it self-defragging as part of its normal operation. Yes there may be cases where one needs to do a manual defrag on an almost completely full ext4 fs, but those would be extraordinarily rare.
When I talk about technical gobbeldygook, this is exactly what I mean. And FOSS enthusiasts will act like it’s all plainly obvious.
