Systemd Works On More Btrfs Functionality

Please read Btrfs wiki on mount options before using it further. Nodatacow implies nodatasum so no checksums for new files

welp there goes my faith in btrfs (that makes no sense)

It's related to implementation details I don't remember. Ask on IRC if you're curious. Basically just the more people remember "nodatacow" is an eat-my-data flag, the better. It is probably fine if you have eg a database doing its own journaling and maintaining data consistency

Is that supposed to be a statement against Xfce? ...because I'd take Xfce over bloated "desktop environments" like KDE and GNOME any day. It's lighter and snappier than either, and more customizable than GNOME or anything forked from it.
(Heck, going one step further, I just recently got thanked by a friend for introducing him to LXDE's PCManFM file manager)

MATE gives more features, far better experience and uses less memory than XFCE.

well then that does not match my experience ... maybe the version I was using was old (fs created a few years ago), but compared to other filesystems, the free space reporting was off by a lot and as I said, lot's of small files ate space like popcorn ...

That could be it. Btrfs DID have internal fragmentation issues (read: wasting space for metadata), but that was resolved years ago. On this very box I have several git clones of the linux kernel source tree and btrfs works like a charm.

If you're going to futz with your mount options, of all things, be sure to read the docs thoroughly.
I'm pretty sure that it was the mount options I chose that once nuked my xfs partition

MATE lighter than XFCE? Interesting

MATE gives more features, far better experience and uses less memory than XFCE.

That's interesting, as XFCE used to have a reputation for being lighter than GNOME 2. On another note, I found that MATE compiled with Gtk3 running on a netbook with only one GB of RAM (yet in 64 bit for compatability with the desktop OS) used only 50MB more of RAM than IceWM running with the hacked (all WM compatable) version of Nemo and similar tray applets.

Or enlightenment...
It runs on all the samsung gear watches. It's specifically tuned for being light weight, advanced, and soon with a working lua engine... You cannot just manage your windows, you can make real efl based applications with a few lines of lua.

Does the E19 WM support a customizable blend of tiling and floating window management out of the box? ...because I'd love to give E19 a try but it's hard enough making time to migrate WMs without having to reinvent what AwesomeWM would give me toward that goal.
