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.

Personally, I'm looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE's port to Qt 6.

Just went through Xanmod's page: the list of features provided seem exciting, although I don't really know much about some of them. Do you need these features for eBPF development?

Well, you're right: ARC is best used in a server. What problems did you have with BTRFS that prompted you to switch?

I use Xanmod for gaming (fsync & related tweaks), but need other flags for development on the same machine.

My issues with BTRFS were mainly in their userspace tooling; ZFS volume management is just glorious, it felt like a significant downgrade to use BTRFS.
