unlikely. reference please. btrfs was the default filesystem on fedora installs last time i checked. to remove it they would have to first change that, then give it a few years before even considering removing it from the kernel. redhat cou

who is at fault doesn't really matter. the end result is that distributions aren't including it, and that kills it. unlike almost anything else which i can add to a system after booting it, filesystems need to be available from th

it is big enough that it prevents distributions to include zfs. and that in reality is the problem. i would not care much if all distributions decided to ignore the copyright issue like canonical does and i could therefore get reliable supp

no thanks to red hat. i switched to debian for servers. fedora fortunately still supports btrfs. zfs is shunned. can't really get around that copyright issue. bcachefs just hit a setback, which i am hopeful will eventually be resolved.

to me work is anything that i am obligated to do, that i can't say no to even if i'd rather do something else. (and yes, doing housework and raising kids is work, and as a society we should treat it as such. that is, we should rec

i agree. if my kid would actually make the effort to make videos i'd fully support him. even with ads if that was something that makes sense. the mistake was letting the kid manage the account with the credit card on file. that's

fairphone probably rolls out a stock android release with little change whereas /e/OS has to forward port all its changes and patches on all the phones they support. maybe taking 4 months is to much for that, but that's most
