Brace for Ubuntu 17.10 release coming tomorrow. Bye bye my old friend Ubuntu Gnome and hello vanilla Ubuntu

PS: don't hate for liking Ubuntu, at least I'm on Linux, cmon 😄

Hey Ubuntu has ZFS Support 🤓

@Dominic Just went and read about it. Interesting. What are its benefits Vs ext4?

@Froot
- storage addressing capability
- builtin RAID, no need for LVM, dynamic - hierarchical filesystems
- no datacorruption due to everything is - checksummed and there is self-healing
- transactional and copy-on-write features
- snapshots is the best feature

So I had 17.04 with gnome-shell installed via terminal, (not an Ubuntu gnome iso) should I just dist-upgrade or would I need to do a fresh install?

Given the abundant excellent alternatives, nobody under any circumstances should be using ext.

@Dominic Thanks

@bahua Hmmm interesting. So should I make my next setup use ZFS instead? Could I see some compadibiliy issues with usb sticks or whatnot?

@Froot

A USB drive usually uses fat32 or something simple like that. The filesystem you copy from and the one you copy to only depend on kernel support. Linux 4 supports basically every filesystem you can imagine, natively and with all features.

@Froot I do not recommend ZFS as root partition. Only for data and so on...

I’m excited too!

Unless you have a specific need, I fully recommend using xfs for everything.

Yes! No more Unity!

i started with xubuntu

I don't want it to be purple again :(

Either this is a really big coincidence or the illuminati is real.

It's the year 17 and the month 10.
👽👾.

@Sukhi Yeah it's weird, it happens in every release! Illuminati confirmed!

Any love for budgie?

@Dominic B=====D

ZFS is friggin sweet.

@Deim lots of love for budgie... Those guys make a beautiful interface.

Damn I thought you were a Windowser! Nope nope not goint to judge you for using Ubuntu, everything better than windows/mac!

@linuxxx I'm half and half actually. I use Linux on my Dev laptop and windows at home PC mainly for games. I need to look into getting my games running in wine, then I can switch my desktop PC too.

Needless to say, I prefer the Ubuntu experience on my laptop ALOT more :D
