I use ext4 for my boot drive as that’s what Linux mint defaults to.
I do not do raids and use btrfs on my other drives.
You can turn on compression on write with btrfs which may reduce the amount of data being read and written to your drive which could further reduce its lifespan.
But you shouldn’t expect the drives to last 10 years.
They might, but don’t expect it and have a backup of whatever is important. Ideally you should have a local backup and a cloud based backup or at least an offsite backup somewhere else.
I’m a bit younger than you, but I still watched plenty of cartoons with those styles. I mean I didn’t have internet as a kid, so I just watched what was on.
I was trying to learn c++ there was this really great and free site. I decided to turn ads on for them since everything was high quality and free.
There were a few ads that played, but they changed every few minutes. The ads were not the same width, so they they changed they pushed the text around.
So in the middle of reading all the text would jump around and make you lose your place.
I don’t know if anything will come of it. The proton tool is only to let game devs run their game on Mac hardware to evaluate performance.
They are not allowed to sell games using this tech, they need to make a native port of the game.
I think the real solution would be to let them sell their games using this tool. It worked very well for linux, and apple has plenty of money to put into something like this. A lot more than valve does.
