Bit of an odd comment but - as an observation around the branding - when Australian's pronounce 'DeX' it sounds like 'Dicks'. I'm not having a go but I did also find it genuinely funny.

That’s not at all correct, without deduplication enabled I have observed massive memory usage across BSD, Linux and ZFS on macOS.

Congrats to all involved, I’m especially proud that the choice was made to delay the release in favour of quality. To me that says so much about the motives and dedication of the people working on the project(s). Compare this say to Debian

That site looks pretty awful to me, while I can clearly make out the buttons from other elements it looks like a old stock Drupal theme or something along those lines.
