    1. I don’t distrohop. Instead I just use what works for me and what I find comfortable.

    2. You will eventually need to use the terminal. And it will be overwhelming at first. But eventually the learning curve flattens a little when you get more comfortable not breaking your system ;þ

    3. Can’t comment

    4. File extensions are, in essence, nothing but a convention. You don’t even need them in Windows, really (You can open a file with any program, for example, you will just not get anything useful from it). So it’s far from a big deal.










  • Funnily enough, when I upgraded from a SATA SSD to an NVME, I didn’t have to reinstall anything. Instead I just moved the LVM LVs to the NVME and rewrote the boot config. Just booted up from the existing installation without having to install anything.
    Of course, tune2fs reports the right age for the filesystem:

    # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSSD-ssdvol | grep created
    Filesystem created:       Thu Jun 16 10:33:49 2022 << This used to be the root fs, inside the SATA SSD
    # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSAT-satvol | grep created
    Filesystem created:       Mon Nov 14 14:13:49 2022 << When I bought the NVME and created a new VG just for the SATA drive
