best Linux filesystem for reliability? [Porteus USB stick]
by Bob1515 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GYWN)
I'm getting my feet wet with Porteus, because I want a live, small, fast Unix to boot from a US stick - esp. to use for emergencies when Windows damages my system again with an "update". I mainly want to use just Firefox and a Thunderbird-like email client. This is for a ~1 yr old laptop, 8GB and Ryzen 5.
I've been using a file container on a FAT32 boot-stick for persistence of FF and emails, etc; and also to go back and forth with Windows transferring FF password files and so forth. But that's crashed twice, so I am almost exclusively interested now in reliability. A Linux filesystem apparently means having no more file data-container to crash. So which Linux filesystem should I format the stick to? I've read discussions on their forum, which were very involved but there was no conclusion. A simple answer will do, it doesn't have to be perfect.
Thank you.
