With that, I’m starting a contest (the prize is the honor of being texted by me that you won):
Guess how much it will take me to break the system beyond repair. I will deliberately do stupid things such as using random niche bootloaders, bcachefs and whatever else is suggested in comments.
If I can’t break the system in like 2 weeks, I’m installing that NixOS config regardless of this challenge.
Yep, that’s it. Thanks for participation and don’t break your system.
Edit: I’m not going with bcachefs. Thanks Linus


XFS with LUKS2 using serpent-xts-512b to really nuke that IO with limited hardware acceleration lol.
I tried this once as a test and it was surprisingly usable, though I didn’t try any heavy IO operations.
