      that's the default behavior for this garbage filesystem, why?

        Don't care or know what you're talking about because any sane person is using bcachefs or xfs on desktop (or zfs in non desktop environments where stability is required)
        Maybe if you used a filesystem with COW, zstd compression, and deduplication you wouldn't have this problem.

        it's so if you run out of space, important services can keep working, giving you a chance to fix things without the system falling flat
        the reserved space permits only root to write to it, so you can think of it instead as a soft 95%-limit on non-root software
        you can change or remove it, but there should be no reason to, in general you don't want to completely fill any filesystem, since as you approach 100%, fragmentation inevitably shoots up

            if you turn this off and you run out of space, then your whole machine will crash and burn, and it might not even be able to boot properly until you fix it

            Like Windows does when it gets itself into this particular pickle - until I remembered how brain-damaged UNIX VMMs are, and it's likely to crash harder and faster.

        Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. It's not about "protecting the user", it's a licensing thing, nothing more, as proven by RDPWrap.

        OPs post made me look into it a bit further and I found these two links that solve my problems quite nicely:
        >Change permissions

        https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition/956072#956072
        Basically, instead of using commands to change permissions and ownership you have to change some stuff in fstab.
        Umask for dealing with permissions and uid for dealing with ownership.

        you misunderstood me
        not having multiple sessions isn't to protect the user, the internal use of multiple users is for user protection, things like "system" and "trusted user" are tools to prevent the user fricking things up (among other things)

          Yes, I connected your comment about multiple users with multiple consoles. You're right about that.
          The people who whine most about LocalSystem, TrustedInstaller, etc. are the ones who need it most in my experience.

            because they faced a nine digit lawsuit for advertising it as being unix-certified which was in fact a lie. So they had to spend millions instead to make it real.

    I don't understand why it's called ext4. It's ext1.7 at absolute best.
    If NTFS was versioned like ext is, it'd have a number comparable with Firefox - and is completely backward compatible: you can mount an NTFS from NT 3.1 and use it immediately and without problems.

    All that is moot if I have to use windows to get the best NTFS support. You might as well be making a thread about how mac has better UX.

    Of course NTFS is better. Loonixtards will screech about "but muh <random other FS>" but there's a reason they keep using ext4: its the only one that doesn't blow up on a regular basis *coughbetarfscough*

        alpha and beta are reversed when discussing software. Have fun with data corruption and lack of compression on your 'alpha' filesystem. Maybe you can store images of your dick on ext4 without compression, but my dick is so big it won't fit unless it's compressed.

    df -B # df --block-size
    The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024)
    or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.
