  • 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.















  • I had a similar issue and had to reboot without a battery first, so the previous one was “forgotten”. It seems like the battery control is a completely separate circuit which in some cases needs to be be reset (if you have such options) or depleted so new batteries are recognized. Maybe search for such instructions for your specific laptop brand and model. HTH


  • I don’t hate Windows but I hate being forced use it. I feel that I’m very effective when using Linux and just don’t like when I am being slowed down. I want to use my machines to get things done and don’t like it when operating systems and tools get in my way instead of enabling me to do what I need to do. Hating Windows is pointless because it’s a waste of energy: it is what it is, why expect more?
