I have used xfs as my default filesystem for over ten years with no issues. I once had data corruption issues with ext4, nothing serious. It has been rock solid since. ext2/3 never gave me any problems.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Re: Is 40GB correct for root partition for long usage?
40 is fine for software, but probably not for data.

Re: Best Distro For Old Computers
Debian is good for old computers. 1) use 32 bit, it uses less memory. 2) simple file systems like ext4 3) look into compressed memory 4) use a light work space or window manager like Xfce/lxde 5) don’t install services you don’t need 6) 2gb of ram will be horrible on the modern web. You might have t...

X is just crashing. What is your graphics hardware, and did you try the non free image?

Re: AMD or Intel for debian
Amd is less (or not?) vulnerable to the Spectre/meltdown vulnerabilities. Though for the workloads you are showing intel would probably be faster. All I can say is if I built a custom Linux box right now it would run Ryzen.

Re: Non-free debian zoomed in!
Giving up so quickly is an attitude that won't bode well with Linux.

Re: AMD or Intel for debian
A lot of what you are asking here the answer is "it depends". If you have massively parallel workloads like video/compiling you want to go with AMD. Otherwise the stronger IPC of Intel will win for your workloads.
I don't particularly care for overclocking so I am not the one to answer.

Re: "Eye of MATE" can't open large images.
Check your ram usage when trying to open the image to make sure it’s not page thrashing. Opening large images can bring a system to its knees.

I have always just used init 0 by habit. It’s definitely not the correct way under systemd.

Re: Remove Firefox without installing Chromium
Looks like you probably have a meta-package installed that wants a web browser installed. Will do some digging.

Yes, it appears there are severe problems with the device.

You'll need to update the firmware.

Re: Debian Installer Not Detecting Disk
If you are sure it's not hardware, the next likely thing is that the hardware either has no driver or is blacklisted. I can look into it.

Re: Debian Installer Not Detecting Disk
Perhaps try another distribution with a newer kernel, such as fedora or suse. If the disk is detected by them, then we at least know it's possible. That would narrow down the problem to Debian's kernel version likely.
