Thats because they use mdadm for the RAID, the btrfs sits underneath a virtual mdadm volume ;)

They do, but this is misleading due to a number of caveats First one is that they don't use btrfs own RAID (aka btrfs-raid/volume management). They actually use hardware RAID so they don't experience any of the stability&#x2F

I have 100+TB datasets and with a large enough SSD/RAM for L1/L2 arc ZFS edges out. Hell even the compression algorithm that ZFS has uses/has access to (LZ4) is faster than what btrfs uses and with enough IO that matters.

FDE with ZFS is kind of fighting the way things are meant to be done with ZFS. ZFS allows encryption on a per dataset/zvol basis which is the officially recommended way to do encryption (see https://arstechnica.com/gadg

For smaller disk setups possibly but with large enough scale ZFS ends up beating out btrfs.

OpenZFS does a better job here, at least if you can deal with an out of tree filesystem.

iirc, btrfs has fixed the issues with raid 5/6 but it requires a breaking change to the on disk format which means you have to create an entirely new partition and copy the data over (you cannot update an existing partition to it). Thi

The author was using Gnome, which is meant to be the most mature Wayland implementation given its developed by Redhat which is also the same company that is the biggest driver of Wayland protocol.

I have a news flash for you, the situation with extensions in Wayland is ten times worse than X11. Wayland requires an extension for what used to be considered basic functionality in a desktop environment.

It most definitely can be because the design of the protocol can force a bound on how performant it can be. While its true that certain implementations of HTTP can be faster or slower, even the best implementations of HTTP 1.1 (for example)

While this is definitely an issue, ironically we may get to a point at some time where subpixel rendering becomes less and less useful, for reasons aside from pixel density. As you know, subpixel rendering only works when you have a very sp
