It is fast. It's the recommended filesystem for MinIO and default for RHEL 7 and above. XFS and ext4 are often recommended for databases if no other filesystem-level features (like snapshots) are needed. XFS has slightly more features than ext4 like CoW and reflink support.

The company behind GitLab is seeking buyout offers, so make of that what you will.
My employer uses GitLab CE and it's pretty good, and it is FOSS. The EE version is "open core" so not really FOSS.
If I were starting from scratch I'd be looking into Gitea/Forgejo as well.
It's not stupid. They don't show unverified .deb packages in software centre either.
Maybe a bit of a case of sour grapes on both sides? The Greens nearly took Fiona's seat last election at 47.7% to LNP's 52.3%. The ward office window was smashed and tensions were high. No excuse for it but the garbage that the LNP posted out was... truly garbage.
In my country that would be a civil offence, not criminal.
I'd recommend at least taking some precautions (e.g. use TLS or Wireguard, firewall if possible).
The main reason I've steered clear of OpenSUSE is its commercial backing as opposed to being a true non-profit community distro like Debian or Arch.
Red Hat have influenced Fedora decisions before and obviously blew up CentOS as a RHEL clone when they had the chance. Canonical constantly make bad decisions with Ubuntu.
I will add that I've heard nothing but good things about SUSE and OpenSUSE. SLES sounds like a decent alternative to RHEL and the OpenSUSE community distros sound pretty solid.
Windows Vista. I absolutely decked it out with free/open source software (LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, KDE for Windows) before I dual booted Windows and eventually made a more permanent switch. Never looked back.
I did have to use Windows for my old job (Win10 from memory?) but now I have a job where I can use Linux.
Next step is to switch my partner over from Windows 11 (she's already on board with the idea).

There have been many improvements in making documentation more inclusive across the IT industry which shouldn't be scoffed at. The first that comes to mind is changing "master" and "slave" to "primary" and "secondary" (or "replica" etc.) because references to slavery is inconsiderate to many.
I don't think pile-ons are productive, but I think inclusive language and thinking is important.
Yeah me too, safety in numbers. Maybe if Linux desktop gets bigger than Windows they'll swap it around 👨💻
I stand corrected, thank you. I'll have to try that out.
ext3 had journaling, but not ext2. Also ext3 doesn't really exist anymore as it was merged into the ext4 driver which can read the old format.
