Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).

its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)

any ideas for things to try?

    NixOS and ext4 user here with no problems. Care to elaborate?

        Seems like this can be prevented from reaching that point by properly deleting old generations regularly though right?

            20 or 30 generations 😹

            I have space for 1 😭

            Edit: you’ve got me worried now, is the behavior you’re referring to normal running out of inodes behavior or some sort of bug? Is this specific to ext4 or does it also affect btrfs nix stores?

            I’ve run across the information that ext4 can be created with extra inodes but cannot add inodes to an existing filesystem.
