[Discussion] Should everyone be installing Linux on top of LVM? Is there any downside to this?

I've seen a lot of posts online advocating for LVM, because it allows you to take snapshots and do live filesystem resizing.

Is there any downside to LVM, or should I learn how to do this for all my future Linux installs?

Thank you for your time.

Does anyone use Tox?

Tox (Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS) -

  • Open Source
  • Secure Instant Messaging
  • Encrypted Voice Calls
  • Secure Video Calls
  • Screen Sharing
  • File Sharing
  • Groups

 

I've been using Riot but this looks promising as well. Is anyone using it?

 


 

I downloaded it and tried it on my iPhone. Chat / phone calls work well, but the video chat was very bad. It's really buggy and I can't see / hear the other person. There is no offline notifications (which I / everybody needs). When someone calls the ringtone is really low (yes I checked my volume and it was all the way up). Will not be using this but has a lot of potential.
