I’ve got Ubuntu + ZFS, and I’m pretty happy about it. No OMV, no Cockpit, everything is set up through a few ansible roles.

It’s a bazzite issue. Many people share that the drivers are pretty reliable on other distros.

No, it should work out of the box through the open source driver. But, for most people the Nvidia driver (closed) works without issues, you need to install it through driver manager app.

Stolen? It was forked as is allowed by the MIT license. With GPL as well there is no „you cannot fork” rule, you can do exactly the same thing. The author misunderstood that „you have to push the changes to upstream”, which is not in any of those licenses.

Counter-counter point: people don’t get a Mac or windows laptop to learn about osx or windows. They generally want to run software or at least browser to do what they need to do.

Uh, memory metrics in Linux are a pain. The only tool that reports most cached as available is htop. free, top and a lot of other software (like node_exporter) will report that a lot of cached memory is not available.

To OP: don’t worry, a lot of Linux tools are smart enough to give back memory if memory pressure rises.

This. Well put.

…and then you learn that packageX v1 is not maintained anymore and relies through a deep set of dependencies on a seriously vulnerable package (in a version which is also not maintained anymore).

Sorry, I had a pretty eventful December :)

This is not an unusual comment section on Phoronix, to put it mildly.
