it sucks that bcachefs cannot be run as a dkms as it cannot be run as a module (only built-in)

It is coming in 6.7, I think. What are the advantages of bcachefs over something like ext4 or btrfs?

All the advantages of btrfs + the ability to combine SSDs and HDDs in a way that maximizes speed and space.

My apologies, V is a new programming language based on Rust, Go and some others. I’ve been learning it a bit, and its fairly easy to learn, so i hope it has a bright future :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
