My Inspiron

Booting to rescue mode I see my file system

[scottalanmiller]

First server update successful.

[JaredBusch]

/boot/grub2 shows grubenv is a linked folder to /boot/edit/EFI/fedora/grubenv

But there is no folder /boot/efi/EFI

There is no grub conf file anywhere I can find.

[JaredBusch]

Tried to tell grub to try again. Nope

[JaredBusch]

rebooted again and it booted up.

WTF

I am not running windows here... I expect logical reasons.

[stacksofplates]

I think I might wipe and try Silverblue this time.

things were not mounted correctly..

THis is what it normally looks like.. No idea WTF happened.

[JaredBusch]

WTF.. does Fedora 30 install snap by defualt now? I do not recall having that installed.

I might have, but do no recall it.

That would be nice. Flatpak doesnt have many server side apps. Microk8s is supposed to be really easy.

I suspect so as the store uses it.

[scottalanmiller]

Second server done.

oh the tragedy! 2.3GB!!

My desktop came to 2.7GB!

[black3dynamite]

On a clean install of Fedora Workstation using the default automatic partition, the partition size for / was set to 70 GB on my 500 GB HDD.

[scottalanmiller]

My desktop is updated now as well.

@scottalanmiller this sounds dare-I-say-it... "Smooth"? Trawling ML at the moment, trying to decide if to move from Ubuntu server

Do it. Definitely. But then I am known to hate Ubuntu.

[warren.stanley]

@JaredBusch I'm not quite at that level of dissatisfaction, but it's feeling like its time to move
