Testing a normal Linux installation sounds like a good idea. In my opinion it’s better to transition to Linux than switch. That way you can go back to your previous system setup and see what you are missing or need without having to open your computer and swap hardware. If you can add the old or new SSD as an external drive and so that you can can boot then your plan might work out.

I just can’t be bothered to switch when my current distro worked just fine for me for the last 20 years. I have no time to experiment anymore, I just want to get things done.

So how did it work out for you? Did bcachefs manage to perform any miracles?

You can’t lose what you never had, though. ;-)

Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

How much is 216% in actual numbers?

You might have missed some points.

Prime Minister Mute Egede:

“Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions,” he said.

Trump earlier this week refused to rule out using military or economic force in order to bring Greenland under US control. Trump said last month that “ownership and control” of Greenland was an “absolute necessity” for the US, as it seeks to counter growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic region.

Elderly people in my family use Ubuntu (LTS) for over a decade. In one particular case, all LTS updates are performed remotely, without issues.

That’s no 20 meter wide display.

Calibre is a Java application and available as a flatpak package. Maybe check how they do it?

The article is not about which filesystem to use or not, but about the size and contents of the patches submitted in relation to bcachefs. It seems that the submitted changes which should have been just fixes also contain new functionality. Though it is very nice to see how active and enthusiastic the development of bcachefs is, mixing fixes with new functionality is hard to review and dangerous as it can introduce additional issues. Again, while I appreciate Kents work, I understand Linus’ concerns.

The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers.

I don’t think that the survival of humankind potentially depends on the adoption speed of Wayland. If anything ever breaks, it will affect only a few individuals which can then still change course.

There are a lot of people using hardware from the last decade. I would even dare to assume that most Linux desktop users do, because that’s how you still can get the most out of old hardware.

I have an old tower which I sometimes use for light gaming. It runs X11 because Wayland had some issues on this specific machine. I don’t remember which and don’t really care to investigate unless it becomes necessary. Until then I’m just happy when I have a little time to use it. And that works perfectly for my needs. For now

I don’t think it’s a revolt. Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things? They also wrote “knowingly” which probably means that they won’t have an issue with a switch if their distro manages to make a seamless transition.

Some people just want to get their stuff done, without diving into technical details. And as long as that works for them, they won’t actively change anything.

No, it’s not related to that.

No. Why would I? The question makes no sense.

Those are mercenaries, not volunteers. Mercenaries will fight for money and for who pays most. They won’t be generally motivated by high ideals. That type of person, no matter which nationality, won’t fight for their country because it doesn’t pay. Within this context, your original comment is highly misleading IMO.

Can you please provide some reliable sources for those claims?

TRICS if Brazil decides to leave
