Whilst removing a mod today, it affected the rest of the Forum. This was unforeseen but thankfully we have daily backups.
There will be a few posts lost and I apologise for this. Forum mod removals are pretty standard to perform but this one turned on us in a bad way.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm relatively new to Linux and I would like to learn more about it. I've been using Linux lite since February of this year and haven't really dug into it. I use it almost entirely for gaming, and if I have a problem i just avoid it as much as i can. To be honest I'm very intimidated. Does anyone have any advice on where to start learning? Thank you for the help. (also new to forums so sorry if I do something wrong)

Does anyone know how to enlarge the size of the icons on the panel's window buttons? I find them too small, and spend a lot of time straining to read them. If I widen the panel it automatically jumps to two rows, leaving the icons and text (which is also pretty small) unchanged.
Thanks.

Sorry, picture not great, from my phone, you can just make out the 4 Drives bays, you can open and change drives.

Here's the "How I Did It" ~ Install "LL-BTRFS - RAID10 ~ 4 Disks"
This is based on info from various sources, did test in Virtualbox first.
Boot LL Live from USB/CD/DVD
First open a terminal and do a
Check that you can see all the 4 disks O.K ,
Then
Create Disk Partition(s) (see note at end on swap**)
Open "gparted" and select 1st disk, "sda"
Then go: Device > Create Partion Table, select "DOS"
Then create a "single partitition on each of the sdX's, "DO NOT" select file system type and leave "unformatted"
repeat this for each of the disk: sdb & sdc and sdd. ((btrfs automatically created a /home))
Next
Create File System & RAID for installation.
Open a terminal. (ctrl+alt+t)
Code: sudo mkfs.btrfs -L RAID10 -m raid10 -d raid10 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
Start installation, at the where to install, make sure to select "Other"
Just make selection "change" to install on the1st drive "sda1 = /"
>> DO NOT TICK FORMAT <<
Select use as "btrfs file system"
You only need to select the first disk partion "sda1" for "/" and "sda2" if you created "swap"
Click the "Install Now" button. ((btrfs will know to install to all 4 drives))
Click "Continue" to the various dialogue box's about partitions...
At GRUB dialogue box, you will get "Errors", select "Continue" without installing,
When install finishes, select "Continue Testing".
Then:
Open a terminal. (ctrl+alt+t)
Code: sudo mount -t btrfs -o subvol=@ /dev/sda1 /target
sudo mount --bind /proc /target/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /target/sys
sudo mount --bind /dev /target/dev
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /target/dev/pts
sudo mount --bind /dev/shm /target/dev/shm
sudo cp -f /etc/resolv.conf /target/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot /target
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install /dev/sdb
grub-install /dev/sdc
grub-install /dev/sdd
update-grub
Close any open terminals.
Shutdown, remove the LL boot disk, and re-boot.
All being well you should now be in LL, and on Btrfs RAID 10.
"NOTE" - There is an Ubuntu bug that "may" give an error at boot on btrfs, I did not get the error, but to fix it:
Code: gksu leafpad /etc/grub.d/00_header
Edit line that starts with: if [ -n “\${have_grubenv}
and change it to: # if [ -n “\${have_grubenv}
Then save & exit and re-boot.
To check basics, open a terminal. (ctrl+alt+t)
Code: sudo btrfs filesystem show
sudo btrfs filesystem df /
sudo btrfs device stats /mnt
Carry on with your normal set-up.
**swap
If you have 4GB or more of memory, you probably don't need swap for general Desktop use.
If less than 4GB, create a swap, larger then your memory, say 1.5X or 2X memory.
