As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍

...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

Isn't that the FS that constantly needs to be defragged? Do people still do that?

[–] Kraiden@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure that was FAT. Whatever the case, you don't need to defeag modern windows anymore

There are FS that don't need defragmenting?

Supposedly the ext file systems commonly used in Linux don’t need defrag.
