Does OpenZFS have a similar ratio of bad to good posts?

>RHEL's only real value is the looong support cycle. They also have in-house expertise for most critical Linux subsystems, which could in theory be useful if you are a paying customer.

At least for the dash to dock behavior, the Gnome designers opted against a permanent dock to minimise "distractions" and allow one to "focus on the task at hand". This language pervades much of the literature explaining

It just seems weird to willingly associate with a company that is trying to outlaw the very practice that gave birth to GNU/Linux in the first place.

Couldn't this be used by Mathworks against Octave if SCOTUS rules that reimplementing APIs is a copyright violation?

Debian is really unique in that does not totally rely on a single corporation's largess like Fedora (Red Hat), CentOS (Red Hat), or OpenSUSE (SUSE). Being a worldwide, community-run project, it has multiple stakeholders and no single p

How about discounts for universities? They could take a page from Microsoft, which introduces students and teachers to its ecosystem with low-cost versions of Windows and Office.

"But Facebook uses it" Since Facebook actually uses kernels from Fedora Rawhide (necessary for btrfs support I guess), their systems are nowhere near the CentOS you and I would use.

Would it make sense to regard CentOS Stream as essentially CentOS/RHEL Beta?

Depends on where. Some hedge funds like DE Shaw are known to hoard olympiad talent.

On the btrfs mailing list [1], there are still sporadic reports of unrecoverable FS corruption for whatever reason. See [2], [3] for some recent examples. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/ [2] https:/&#x2F

Microsoft previously reimplemented some Android and iOS APIs in Project Islandwood and Astoria. Is this a continuation of that effort in the spirit of WSL1 or does this use the WSL2 method of using a VM?

Worth noting that there's also MicroOS Desktop [1], basically like Fedora Silverblue but implemented using btrfs subvolumes and snapshots instead of OSTree. [1] https://dariofaggioli.wordpress.com/2020/10/16&#x

Other advantages: -Unlike btrfs subvolumes, zfs datasets can be mounted with different zfs-specific mount options, such as compression algorithms or recordsizes. -zfs can take atomic recursive snapshots of nested datasets, whereas btrfs sna

>I've not seen anything that does executable validation for linux and actually works. ChromeOS uses dm-verity to verify the root partition at runtime, similar to Mac OS's signed system volume.

Will this eventually replace the deb package, over which I have full control of updates?

If only Google could put this much effort into supporting its own Pixel devices, which stop getting updates to the base OS after just three years.

Isn't this a perfect example of how "interoperability" can't possibly be a fair use exception if APIs were to be deemed copyrighted? The easier you make it for existing users to switch to your product, the greater the ma

Sounds similar to the infamous ENOSPC bug that has plagued btrfs.

Btrfs is notoriously ill-adapted to database workloads. Although interestingly, some people seem to run Postgres on ZFS just fine, even without disabling copy-on-write like one is advised to do for btrfs.
