Portable?
"....and is thus naturally portable between systems without any further, external metadata."
How is this in any way "portable"? Between shittyD systems? Maybe - depends how corrupted it is by the time you try to move it. Between ShiteD and anything else? Not at all!!
I'm SO pleased I use void linux!
And bearing in mind the obvious strength of feeling on just this forum, I am staggered that most linux outfits are sticking with ShiteD; they must be getting a barrage of complaints
