Please don’t give them the idea to give up on blurays or physical media.

Full HD is already perfectly fine for most people, so I can’t even imagine how great a bluray in 4k is.

I’m still watching DVD’s and, as long as the movie is great, it’s perfectly enjoyable.

Most people are watching Netflix which is apparently not giving you real full HD or 4k and people are not bothered.

Innovation is great, but having a new format would create the need to have new equipment and create even more e-waste when we can’t manage it already.

If installing the surface kernel (kind of necessary for my Surface Go 1) and installing a few appimages didn’t look so difficult, I guess I would already be on Silverblue.

I’m kind of the opposite of OP and just having nightmares about breaking my system 😅

That’s why I’m doing clonezilla backup but I think the custom kernel would be a problem if I reinstall on another non-Surface computer. Maybe I should just go back to the normal kernel before doing a backup..

I’ve found some tutorials online, but I’m always cautious with these things because the more I tinker, the more I break my systems 😅

Surprisingly it was really easy to install fedora on my wife’s MacBook Pro from 2012.

The only thing I had to do for everything to work perfectly was to install the RPM fusion repository and accept that the @ is gonna be mapped to the wrong key.

It’s the easiest device I’ve had for installing Linux in quite a while..

I guess a lot of it depends on the hardware you’re using.

I now use a Surface Go 1 and it suits me really well.

But getting it to boot on a usb drive was difficult and I would have given up if it was just to try Linux.

Fortunately, I had already used Linux on many other devices and I knew that the reward was worth the struggle and that the difficulties were not related to Linux.

Okay thanks for the explanation. Although I wouldn’t want to download without supporting artists.

It looks like a great service, but since I’m already paying for cloud storage (kDrive from Infomaniak) I wouldn’t want to have another subscription.

Although I wouldn’t mind paying once for an equivalent to Google photos which would be storing and going through my pictures on my cloud storage.

Does anyone knows if such a program exists?

What is Usenet?

I hate the fact that Netflix is getting more and more expensive, but I still think it’s a really good deal.

There are a lot of shows and interesting movies and I hope it stays that way.

If I had to buy everything I watch on netflix, it would end up being more expensive (4-5 movies a month, 2 tv shows simultaneously).

I still buy blu-rays for my favorite movies even if I only watch them every 4-5 years.

Maybe one day Netflix is gonna end up being more expensive than just buying, but it ain’t the case for now.

And about the redesign, it’s difficult to judge without trying it first, but I ain’t a fan of the bigger thumbnails.

Thanks a lot for the help and advices!

It’s always nice to see how helpful everyone is on Lemmy👍

I’ll have a look into this at one point.

But then I might be dumb but I don’t understand why everywhere I was checking there seemed to be free space (CLI and GUI).

Such things are a bit frightening when you think that using Linux is way easier than Windows and then you run into these issues.

sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=30 /

That's what I got in the end after I was able to use the command you gave me. I don't know if it helped or not. I just hope the problem I had is gone for good.

Well, now everything seems to work!

So thanks a lot, even if I still don't really understand what the problem was.

Reinstalling everything would have been a nightmare so I'm really happy everything works.

sudo btrfs subvolume list /

Here is the result. I doesn't look like I have any

Well I'd love to be able to just do this, especially because every install is a big hassle on my Surface Go 1. Even booting from USB is, I don't know why exactly.. But what should I do once I manage to boot on the live USB?

Sadly it doesn't seem to change anything...

I don't think I have any snapshots, or at least I've never created them voluntarly

Well if none of the solutions everyone has proposed, I guess I'll just wipe everything and install Fedora Silverblue to avoid future problems like this one..

sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=30 /

That's what I'm getting when I'm trying to run the command

sudo dnf clean

That's what I get when I execute the command
