I do not recommend it. I ran two USB hard drives for over a year in BTRFS RAID1, and I had millions of errors repaired every month when I scrubbed it.

I bet OP won’t pin my comment

Been using BTRFS on a couple NAS servers for 4+ years. Also did raid1 BTRFS over two USB hard drives connected to a Pi4 (yes this should be absolutely illegal).

The USB raid1 had a couple checksum errors that were easily fixed via scrub last year and the other two servers have been running without any issues. I assume it’s been fine since they’re all connected to a UPS and since I run weekly scrubs.

I enjoyed CoW and snapshots so much that I’ve been using it on my main Arch install’s (I use Arch btw) root drive and storage drives (in BTRFS raid1) for the last 4 months without issue.

Piracy is completely justified.

DBrand did this to me years ago. I’m still salty about paying USD to a Canadian company in Canada after all this time.

What’s the alternative to doing this? Is it safer to read the script first and then execute it as

sh ./install.sh?

A lot of my motivation for starting random useless side projects is unfortunately “because I can” and the learning experience from using a new framework or library.

Thank you for your insight, DrDickHandler.

Well I just switched to KDE Plasma last week and I’m pleasantly surprised just how many things are configurable via a menu and how well it runs on Wayland With a Nvidia GPU.

I used to despise KDE Neon, and used Gnome for a bit, but I don’t think I can go back anymore until their design philosophy changes again.

Not sure why people are downvoting you. Your use case is valid but definitely not the norm. My charger is below my nightstand so I end up needing a 3+ foot cable to rest my phone on the surface.

Most chargers aren’t plugged into a place where you can conveniently lay your phone down 8" away.

I’m inclined to say your opinion is wrong.

The “end my suffering” special.

As an Android user who’s glad that iOS gestures have been “copied” on my Samsung phone, I respectfully disagree. Gestures seem to work relatively reliably and keep navigation muscle memory uniform between my iPad and phone.

Let’s not forget the fantastic bonus of having all that screen real estate not being taken up by software navigation buttons like on older android phones.

Arch on my workstation, Ubuntu on my servers.
