I always think it's funny to see journalists raving over features added to Windows or Macs that have been in Linux for a while. Like PMEM is somehow this brand new thing to operating systems that will "supercharge" servers. Linux had support for persistent memory a year and a half ago... https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=PMEM-Linux-4.1-Feature https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=PMEM-Lin... If you google around you'll find PMEM stuff for Linux from 2014. What do they think people have been running their PMEM hardware with this whole time while Microsoft developed this feature for their OS? I wonder what's next? Zero-overhead filesystem snapshots? A filesystem in user space? The ability to swap USB ports without a two-second delay (hah)?
