Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).
its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)
any ideas for things to try?
Isn’t the default filesystem btrfs? Why did you go with ext4
@possiblylinux127 @evasync I can’t speak for them, but I’ve had btrfs blow up in ways I could not fix. I didn’t just lose a file but the entire file system. I have NEVER had this happen in many years with ext4.
Was that in the last 5 years? If it was btrfs is now far more stable. It has never blown up for me and it has in fact saved my data a few times.
@possiblylinux127 It was this year. Glad it’s working for you. I’ll stick with what works for me and has provided adequate performance for years.
