good day dear Kathlinx good day dear demainding truth,


first of all - many thanks for the reply and for sharing your ideas and experience. I am asking myself this question everytime i am doing a fresh install of linux.

so i am thankful - i am really happy to get your ideas.


For starters why not just take an extra hard drive, and load it up with 'Linux Mint Mate 20', boycotting all the updates, to get a feel for a super Linux OS with a good existing file system.. This is the best Linux OS I've found.. I've tested hundreds of them... I avoid all the newer versions since crazy unscrupulous people started trying to kill Linux...
thank you so much. Wow -. youve got lots of experience. Thats awesome. I am glad that you were here to share your knowledge and experience.

thank you dear kathlinx

thanks - this opens up a wide field - and i am happy to get your ideas and that you share all the insights. Glad about that. -

thanks for your "conclusion -" and for suggesting the ext 4 ... this is a good choice and i think that i will follow this path.. - and will go the ext4 way in the next installation of linux.

btw:
