  • EDIT: I kinda forgot to actually mention my problem. When booting nornall, I get stuck at a lonely white blinking cursor on a black screen, so startx seems to make some problems. I enter a TTY and run startx and this is what I get when running startx:

    output of startx

    What was the output ? It is not visible for me here.

    • Were you using startx successfully before ?
    • Or are you reverting to trying startx and you did use some graphical display manager like gdm, sddm or lightdm before ?
    • Could it be a disk space problem ? If you run out of space trouble can happen with various applications.
    • Can you boot from a previous kernel (At the GRUB or systemd boot menu) and see what happens ?

  • Huge news 🎉 Thanks OP for sharing.

    It feels like a relief after reading earlier Lemmy comments in other posts about btrfs vs ext4 and having read this Wikipedia page paragraph :

    In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems, Theodore Ts’o, stated that although ext4 has improved features, it is not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a stop-gap. Ts’o believes that Btrfs is the better direction because “it offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease of management”.[29] Btrfs also has “a number of the same design ideas that reiser3/4 had”.[30] 😢

    Oh no, wait a minute, I overlooked the next sentence last time 😀 :

    However, ext4 has continued to gain new features such as file encryption and metadata checksums.

    I picked the lesser evil

    The choice for iOS can be a convenient choice for daily use if one is ready to deal with the restrictions (Like every other web browser is a Safari browser layer instead of a real browser and the fact that Apple is not into allowing ad-blocking easily). With Android phones the freedom for the end user is, compared to iOS, massive. And having a de-Googled Android phone with a custom ROM is no longer rocket-science or for the faint of heart these days because you can buy custom ROM Android phones pre-installed so you’re good to go.
