  • Depends. Slower desktop machines XFS.
    Standard desktop XFS, if it has a smaller SSD, Btrfs.
    Home server ext4/XFS + ZFS. Generic servers at work ext4/XFS, backup/storage servers ZFS.
    Database server, experiment with ZFS with compression enabled - ratio 2:1, but encountered problems (probably a bad HBA model), standard ext4/XFS.
    Hosts with virtualization, small server - XFS, big server - ZFS (technically a ZVOL).


  • Ex CS student. I’m on 100 % Linux, even back then.
    Huge advantage in the Linux/Unix, networking labs.

    The main issues were Matlab (Octave is kinda ok, but must be tested before you submit your project),
    FPGA simulator - Altera (no alternatives, but it can be run on a Windows VM),
    3ds Max - must be run on bare-metal Windows (maybe GPU passthrough to a VM will work),
    some old weird software,
    C getch() on Linux.

    No problems with MS Office, I can run whatever I want, just exported it to the PDF.
    No heavy formatting in drafts helps with a group project.

    I think there is no a out-of-the-box solution.
    You can run security updates manually, but it’s too much to do.

    Try to host apt mirrors in different stages, with unattended-updates tuned on.
    Devel will have the latest.
    Staging the latest positively tested on the devel.
    Production the latest positively tested on the staging.




  • If you surprised why it has a PowerPC CPU. It’s actually a SoC.
    From the manual:

    AMCC PowerPC 405 32-bit RISC processor core operating up to 333MHz with 16KB D-and I-caches.

    Designed specifically to address embedded applications, the PowerPC 405EP (PPC405EP), provides a high-performance, low-power solution that interfaces to a wide range of peripherals by incorporating on-chip power management features and lower power dissipation requirements.

    My steps which worked:

    gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/tmp/trustedkeys.gpg --fingerprint
    gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/tmp/trustedkeys.gpg --import ~/tmp/tails-signing.key
    gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/tmp/trustedkeys.gpg --verify tails-amd64-6.4.img.sig
    

    Checksums:

    sha256sum tails-amd64-6.4.img tails-amd64-6.4.img.sig  ~/tmp/tails-signing.key
